Paraben Free Classic Watermelon Lemonade

Few summer drinks hit as hard as a cold glass of watermelon lemonade made entirely from scratch. This version blends fresh watermelon into a silky juice, strains out the pulp, and combines it with bright squeezed lemon juice and a simple homemade syrup — nothing from a bottle, nothing from a packet. That matters more than it might seem, because many store-bought flavored drinks and pre-made lemonades rely on preservatives and synthetic additives that people avoiding parabens and similar compounds need to watch out for. Here, every ingredient is exactly what it says it is: fruit, water, and sugar. The homemade simple syrup takes just a few minutes on the stove and lets you control the sweetness to your own taste. Poured over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice, it looks like something from a restaurant patio and tastes even better. It's the kind of refreshing, clean drink you'll want to make on repeat all season long.
