A surefire way to make any meal feel special? Make a special drink to go with it.
This simple lemonade is a favorite way to turn a regular night of burgers on the grill into a celebratory meal.
This frothy treat has a mild flavor – less tart than regular lemonade with a lightly fruity taste. And, it couldn’t be easier to make.

Ingredients
- 4 cups lemonade
- 1 cup ice
- 8 oz. diced watermelon
- 1/2 cup raspberries
A few simple ingredients is all you need here, but if you want to make this into a sipper for the 21+ crowd, this is fantastic spiked with vodka or light rum.
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
The more you blend this, the more it froths up – but it also separates fast. If you want a smoother, more traditional lemonade, you can let it sit for a few minutes then pour it through a fine sieve. I love the added texture so I opted to just serve it with a skewer of watermelon and raspberries for stirring.

Amazing recipe Kate! This is a simple and refreshing drink to prepare and serve in the summer. Full of vitamins and fiber, adding a little lemon zest can reduce the sugar content.
