About

This Taste-of-Summer Lemonade truly does embody the season! It's cool, in both a literal sense (being served over ice will do that) and in terms of taste, with the chilling flavor of mint accenting the brightness of the lemon and a summertime sensation of fresh watermelon. There's nothing more refreshing than Taste-of-Summer Lemonade; even if it isn't summer, there's no better way to find an oasis than this! It's easy, breezy, and tasty all at once!
