Few drinks capture the feeling of summer quite like a tall glass of something cold, pink, and citrusy. This refreshing blend of fresh watermelon juice and bright lemon juice is naturally free from warm spices, making it a worry-free choice for anyone who needs to avoid cinnamon — no label-scanning required. The process is straightforward: a quick homemade simple syrup, blended and strained watermelon, and a generous pour of freshly squeezed lemon juice all come together in one big pitcher. Straining the blended watermelon through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky-smooth drink without any pulpy texture getting in the way. The balance of sweet and tart is totally adjustable, so you can dial it up or down depending on your crowd. Served over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice, it looks as good as it tastes — the kind of thing that disappears fast at a backyard gathering or a lazy afternoon on the porch.
