Watermelon Soda

Watermelon Soda – Turn juicy watermelon into a refreshing watermelon soda with a twist of lime!  Great to beat the heat this summer!

Once summer hits I want all the cold and refreshing drinks I can get my hands on. I mean, after some time outside, i am all for a cold glass of water. But I really like to switch it up no and then.

And using fresh, juicy watermelon makes for the most refreshing, sweet, and fruity drink!

What You’ll Need

• Fresh Watermelon
• Lime Juice
• Water
• Sugar
• Sparkling Water

This really is just a few simple ingredients to make a homemade soda that you will come back to over and over again. And you really can play with the recipe. I use lime sparkling water, but you can use plain, berry, or another fruit combination and it will be delicious!

How To Make Watermelon Soda

The blender does almost all of the work, so it is ready in no time! Aside from actually chopping the watermelon, but if you buy the already peeled stuff, you can be enjoying a glass in 5 minutes.

1. Add the diced watermelon, lime juice, water, and sugar to the food processor or blender and blend until it is completely smooth.
2. Pour the mixture through a strainer to get rid of the pulp and any chunks,
3. In a large pitcher combine the sparkling water with the watermelon juice and mix until combined.
4. To serve pour over glasses filled with ice.

Can You Make Ahead

Yes, if you want to make this ahead, stop when it comes to adding the sparkling water. Just make the watermelon juice portion and store in the fridge until you are ready to serve. You can even just mix about equal parts watermelon with the sparkling water to make individual glasses if you don’t want a whole pitcher.

This homemade soda is so easy to make and will definitely rethink letting your kids (or yourself) have soda in your life. It is full of fresh fruit and delicious. Skip all the chemicals and junk in the canned stuff from the store and make your own watermelon soda on repeat all summer long!

Adapted from Cooking Light

You can use less sugar if your watermelon is super sweet. But the tartness of the lime does need some extra sugar to balance out the drink.
