Wheat Free Classic Watermelon Lemonade

Summer in a glass doesn't get much better than this — sweet, juicy watermelon blended with bright, tangy fresh lemon juice and a light homemade simple syrup. The whole thing comes together in a blender and a saucepan, no complicated equipment or specialty ingredients required. Because it's built entirely from fresh fruit, water, sugar, and citrus, it's naturally free from any wheat-containing additives or thickeners that can sneak into store-bought drink mixes and flavored syrups. Straining the blended watermelon through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, vibrant juice that looks almost too pretty to drink — almost. The homemade simple syrup lets you dial the sweetness exactly where you want it, so every glass is perfectly balanced. Pile on the ice, tuck in a sprig of fresh mint, and you've got a showstopper drink that works for a backyard cookout or a lazy afternoon on the porch.
