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.
