Method
 

  1. Place the watermelon cubes into a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Strain the watermelon puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any pulp, if desired.
  3. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar to the pitcher. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Pour in the cold water and mix well to combine.
  5. Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice as needed.
  6. Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill, or serve immediately over ice.
  7. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and watermelon slices, if desired.

Notes

For a fizzy twist, replace some of the cold water with sparkling water. Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the watermelon.
