Melonberry Lemonade

As you've probably noticed, we're very fond of making little fruity drinks around here, especially as summer creeps closer and closer through our front door.

This drink is fantastic. I wait ALL YEAR for watermelon season to come around - and now that it's arriving, I anticipate buying a watermelon a week until I'm sick of 'em. I remember my parents telling me a story about my Grandma in California - and how if you gave her a fork, she could sit and eat an entire watermelon by herself! Must be genetic. We've gone through one in only 12 hours... Ryan certainly is not to blame.

We sipped these on our back porch with paper twirly straws. Even though we were sitting in our sweats, and the manchild was covered in dirt and grass from the backyard, we felt like kings. I love any and every excuse for a cold glass of lemonade. This was definitely one for the books.

Melonberry Lemonade

6 cups chopped fresh watermelon, seedless
2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
4 large lemons, juiced
1 cup sugar
2 cups water OR 7up! (We wished we had some 7up when we were sipping on these)

Chill watermelon and strawberries overnight. This drink tastes better very cold (or you could freeze the chopped watermelon and strawberry - making more of a slushy drink).

Add all ingredients into blender. Garnish with sliced pieces of strawberry or watermelon. I decided to put my flower cutter to good use.
