I love serving a fruity drink with summer dinners. Here are two recipes we've enjoyed lately:
Virgin Watermelon Margaritas
Ingredients
- 4 c. watermelon, chunks, seeds removed
- 6 Tbs. fresh lime juice
- 2 Tbs. sugar
- 4 C. ice cubes
- 1/8 tsp. table salt
- 1/2 lime, cut into wedges for garnish
Directions
Combine all ingredients except lime wedges, in a blender; puree until smooth. Divide among 4 glasses. Garnish with lime wedges.
Fresh Strawberry Lemonade
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 5-8 lemons) - I actually just used the lemon juice you can buy in a bottle
1 cup sugar
2 cups sliced, fresh strawberries

DIRECTIONS:
Combine the lemon juice and sugar in a blender and blend for about 30 seconds to combine. Add the strawberries and puree or pulse until the strawberries are at the desired chunkiness. I liked the strawberries slightly chunky but my husband preferred it to be more smooth – blend to your own preference!

Pour the lemon/strawberry mixture into a pitcher and add 4 cups of cold water. Mix well and serve chilled.
