How to Make Watermelon Lemonade

Cut a 4-cup seedless watermelon into chunks.
Puree the watermelon chunks in a food processor in batches until completely smooth. This should yield approximately 3 cups of watermelon puree.
Pour the watermelon puree into a large pitcher.
Add 1 cup of undiluted lemonade concentrate and 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Stir gently until the lemonade concentrate and lemon juice are fully incorporated with the watermelon puree.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes, or until thoroughly chilled.
Serve over ice in tall glasses. Garnish each glass with a fresh lemon slice or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance.
