High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Classic Watermelon Lemonade

Few summer drinks hit as hard as a cold glass of watermelon lemonade, and this version is as fresh and vibrant as it gets. The sweetness comes entirely from a homemade simple syrup made with plain granulated sugar and water — no corn syrup, no mystery additives, just clean ingredients you can feel good about. Blending fresh watermelon and straining it through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, jewel-toned juice that tastes like pure summer in a glass. Squeezed lemon juice brings the bright, tart contrast that makes this drink so refreshing and impossible to put down. It's the kind of recipe that makes you wonder why you ever reached for a bottled version in the first place. Serve it over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice for a presentation that looks far fancier than the effort involved.
