As the temps rise and the sun beats down, nothing satisfies my thirst quite like lemonade. Sometimes ice cold water is rejuvenating, but most of the time water is just lacking that extra oomph. You know what I mean?
On those summer days, I make a fresh batch of 2-minute lemonade in my Vitamix Aer Disc container.
“Since this is so easy,” I thought, “I wonder if I can spice up my lemonade with other ingredients too?” I’ve tried:
As you can tell, lemonade (and limeade) can be so diverse! “Since watermelon is so refreshing,” I thought, “I wonder if I can add it to lemonade?”
I tossed some watermelon into my trusted lemonade recipe and the result was even more refreshing than I expected. It was a hit!
The most time-consuming part was de-seeding the watermelon. After that, here’s how easy this Watermelon Lemonade is:
- De-seed the watermelon and lemon.
- Add watermelon chunks, lemon slices, honey, and ice to the Vitamix Aer Disc blender container.
- Blend together for 30-60 seconds.
- Enjoy while it’s ice cold!
I’ve also tried freezing the leftovers, which result in a block as solid as a brick. So if you make this treat, be sure to enjoy it right away!
Optional add-ins: rum, tequila, vodka, other fruit, limes.
