Summer Lemonade

Ingredients

• Strawberries – Make sure they’re fresh, not frozen! Also, you’ll want to remove their stems before using.


• Watermelon – Cube it up and make sure to pick a seedless one. I can’t imagine it being too desirable to get watermelon seeds in a sip of lemonade.


• Water


• Lemon juice – Use the juice from fresh lemons, not the store-bought stuff that’s from concentrate. The difference in flavor is noticeably fresher!


• Simple syrup – You can substitute this with agave syrup if you’d like to keep things even more all-natural.


• Gin – Your cocktail will only be as good as the booze you use, so make sure you’re splashing a good quality gin in there! Of course, you can omit the gin entirely if you’d prefer.


• Ice
