Watermelon soda is a real refreshment and a pleasure in the summer. It tastes fruity, tangy and so delicious. You can quickly and easily make the watermelon lemonade yourself. You only need a few ingredients. A detailed watermelon lemonade recipe with exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found below.
With or without sugar
You can make the watermelon lemonade sugar free. If your watermelon is very sweet, simply omit the sugar in the recipe. Alternatively, you can sweeten the soda with agave syrup or maple syrup.
I added some brown sugar to the watermelon lemonade, just like I did to my strawberry lemonade. Regular sugar works instead. You can also sweeten the drink with a sugar syrup. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.
Honeydew melon lemonade
Instead of watermelon, you can also make your lemonade with honeydew melon. Replace watermelon pulp with honeydew melon pulp.
Since honeydew melon is very sweet, you may want to omit sugar completely. Also, you can add a little more lime juice for a more pronounced flavor.
Fresh herbs for more flavor
To make your watermelon lemonade even more intense in taste, you can add fresh herbs to it. Peppermint, basil or lemon balm, among others, go very well with it.
If you like a strong herbal taste in the soda, then puree the herbs together with the watermelon pulp. For a light herb flavor, simply add the leaves to the lemonade when serving.
For summer party
Homemade watermelon soda is an ideal refreshing drink for a summer celebration, such as a barbecue. Your guests are sure to be delighted with it. Because the lemonade tastes delicious, looks colorful and provides refreshment.
Of course, you can drink the watermelon lemonade, just like the homemade classic lemonade, rhubarb lemonade, orange lemonade or cucumber lemonade simply at home during the week. On a hot summer day, along with the watermelon ice cream, it is a refreshing treat par excellence.
