Carrageenan Free Classic Watermelon Lemonade

Few summer drinks hit as hard as a cold glass of watermelon lemonade made entirely from scratch. Blended seedless watermelon gets strained through a fine-mesh sieve, leaving you with a silky-smooth, brilliantly pink juice that needs absolutely nothing added to it beyond what's already on this list. That matters more than you might think — many store-bought fruit drinks and flavored lemonades sneak in thickeners and stabilizers that people following a carrageenan-free lifestyle have to watch out for. Here, a quick homemade simple syrup handles all the sweetness, and fresh-squeezed lemon juice brings the bright, tart backbone that makes this drink so refreshing. You control every single ingredient from start to finish, which means no label-reading anxiety and no unwanted additives. Serve it over a big pile of ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice, and it looks like something you'd pay ten dollars for at a rooftop bar. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you might want to make a double batch.
