:: Watermelon Lemonade ::
Summer is not over on my calendar yet! I still have one more day before the back to school routine starts. I don’t know about you, but this week has been HOT! That being said, it’s time to cool down with a lovely drink of Watermelon Lemonade. Mocktail or Cocktail this drink is a must on a warm day. It’s sweet and tangy and will leave you feeling cool as a cucumber. I don’t know why I didn’t share it with you earlier in the summer {thanks Erica for the reminder, wink}, but hey… I know you still have time to whip up this easy drink! The heat doesn’t kick up a notch until September for us here and in Southern California. With less time for trips to the beach, or a dreamy Hawaiian in the future, this cocktail will make any celebration a reason to say “cheers” to the end of summer!
