This rhubarb-melon lemonade is a refreshing drink for warm days, brunch, or a quiet moment in between. The flavor should stay bright: plenty of freshness, not too sweet, and easy to make without any bar tools.
Use the ingredients below as a base and taste at the end. That way, you can make the drink a little fresher, softer, or fuller without making the recipe complicated.
The magic of homemade lemonade
Making lemonade yourself is super easy and gives so much more flavor than anything from a bottle. You choose the ingredients, decide on the balance, and add that personal twist – exactly what a calm, homely atmosphere is all about. The combination of fresh rhubarb and juicy melon creates a subtly sweet base, while lemon wonderfully brightens everything up.
Ingredients for rhubarb-melon lemonade
- 400 g watermelon, cut into cubes
- 350 g rhubarb, cut into pieces
- 200 ml water
- 100 ml fresh lemon juice
- 60–80 g sugar (to taste)
- Fresh ice cubes
- Optional: fresh mint or slices of lemon for the finishing touch
How to make it: step by step
- Put the rhubarb together with the water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and let it simmer gently until the rhubarb is soft (about 10 min).
- Blend the watermelon into juice and strain through a fine sieve.
- Strain the rhubarb mixture as well. Catch the clear liquid and mix it with the watermelon juice and lemon juice.
- Let everything cool completely in the refrigerator.
- Serve with plenty of ice, a sprig of mint and – if you like – some extra lemon slices.
