Spring time…and the drinking is easy with fruit flavored cocktail recipes.  My take on an old tune!  I am a great fan of lemonade.  I drink it all the time when I am gardening and find it very refreshing.  This recipe for Watermelon Raspberry Lemonade gives a new twist to the old favorite – sans the alcohol of course.  Not sure what my garden would look like if I made the adult version!

Watermelon Raspberry Lemonade – refreshing Summertime drink

The recipe combines watermelon cubes, raspberries and fresh lemons and is easy and quick to make.  To serve it as an adult drink, simply add a little rum, vodka or gin. It is the perfect way to welcome spring and share a new drink with friends.
