# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • This lemonade feels like a cool breeze in a glass—especially when you need a break from the heat.
  • The watermelon-mint combo tastes so fresh, you’ll want to make it for every warm-weather get-together.
02 -
  • Skipping the straining step leaves the lemonade pulpy—not bad, but it doesn’t sate thirst quite the same way.
  • I discovered muddling mint in each glass makes every serving uniquely fragrant, especially if the pitcher sits for a while.
03 -
  • Blending cold watermelon means you won’t have to wait as long for the lemonade to chill.
  • Don’t forget to taste after stirring in water—the fruit’s flavor changes batch to batch, so a splash more honey or lemon might be needed.
