Also try this Citrus Iced Tea, it’s so tasty! If you’d like something warm to drink, try this Homemade London Fog. It’s easy and just like store-ordered.
Ahhh Summer. We’ve been waiting a long time for you, my friend.
The weather here in Alberta has primarily been very hot and we’ve been spending a lot of our time outdoors. While we wait for our new deck to be built, the majority of our play is in the front yard.
Chalks, bikes, bug collecting and a lot of the girls’ favourite activity for Summer 2013 – a Lemonade Stand.
Yet our front yard doesn’t get the shade like our backyard would, so it’s super hot with little relief.
So, a lemonade stand is the perfect excuse to have fun and cool down {one for you, one for me}. Yet, let’s take that classic yet plain drink and kick it up a notch!
Minute Maid has some new and delicious beverage recipes, all incredibly easy yet packed with major taste.
While I will try them all this Summer, the one that had to be first was Watermelon Grapefruit Fizz.
Yet, our grocery store was sold out of the Minute Maid Grapefruit frozen concentrate. I stood in the freezer section pondering my next move, and scanned the TONS of other varieties available. Change of plans!
Keeping my daughters favourite Summer activity in mind, I decided the Pink Lemonade flavour would be great with Watermelon as well, so into my cart it went.
OK, along with a few more flavours too, how could I resist the great price of .60 a can?!
I made what I call Pink Lemonade & Watermelon Fizz, a spin on Minute Maid’s Fizz recipe.
This drink could not be easier to make, it takes literally minutes just as the can says. All you need to do is puree watermelon, mix it with Minute Maid juice and combine a glass with Sprite. Garnish with fresh basil if you wish – and done!
The taste can be described as ‘the epitome of Summer’. Close your eyes and you taste what you have been waiting for, heaven in a glass.
On scorching days, it’s much needed. Also, our Lemonade stand offers what others don’t, as my kids scream while standing on the sidewalk, ‘best lemonade in town!!!!”. I agree!

This looks absolutely delicious and refreshing! My favorite summertime drink is homemade iced tea.
Ohhh, love me some iced tea!
My husband would love this. I love seeing basil in there. It definitely adds something!
It adds a nice flavour to the drink, I like it!
Oh wow that looks amazing. With this heat, I can use something cold to drink!
Refreshing in so many ways!

LOVE summer drinks, this one looks yummy!!
That looks, and sounds, divine! Pretty easy to reduce the calories with a little tweaking too! Glad you shared this!
Very true Beth, you can definitely use ‘diet sprite’ instead of the regular kind!
This is a recipe I’d love to try.
I love using watermelon in drinks. It adds such a light and refreshing taste to the drink. Thanks for sharing!
The taste can’t be beat right? 🙂
This sounds so refreshing! Love the idea of this combo together!
My favorite drink to celebrate summer is definitely the pina colada. Whether it contains the rum or not, I’ll take it. However, I love pink lemonade and would really love to give these a try. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I only ever have them on vacay, I should change that. Relaxing in the evening with a Pina Colada sounds perfect right now!
I will be making this Pink Lemonade and Watermelon Fizz this weekend. Going to serve it with Feta Cheese and crackers. (my new favourite salad is watermelon and feta cheese) Thanks for this one!!
That is an excellent idea, Elizabeth!

Your recipe for Pink Lemonade & Watermelon Fizz looks great.
I am going to have to make some of this.
Ooooh! I do love anything watermelon related! 🙂
My last trip to Mexico I came across this restaurant that makes fresh lemonade with about 30 different flavors – cucumber was one of them. Sounds strange, but it was AMAZING!
Thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂
Ahhhh, I could spend forever there then! Hope they have sample nights!
Thank you for the recipe…I love cold drinks in the summer. My favourite is homemade lemonade and ice tea. This afternoon I am going to go for a walk and treat myself to an iced coffee…I haven’t had my daily fix of caffeine yet.

The ingredients sound like it would keep my taste buds happy, looks and sounds good
I have to try this recipe, I love watermelon.
I made this today, soooo good! Nice for a hot day!
YAY, so happy to hear it was a total success!
I made this on the weekend and it was delicious and refreshing!
I made it now thats all my hubby wants to drink lol yummy
Hahahah, Success!!!
i have got to try this!!
This mix would also work well in a soda stream machine!
I love a Shirley temple. We get creaming soda, vanilla icecream and a maraschino cherry on top. Yum!
I need to make this for my oldest! He was looking at a watermelon lemonade at IHOP the other day. I bet he’d love this.
I love watermelon and pink lemonade so sounds good having them together in a drink. I am going to a BBQ this weekend and I’m going to make this drink. I like to drink a glass of Sangria in the evenings on the patio..
this looks so refreshing – it’s late at night right now, but i’d still love a large glass of it! lemonade with a splash of soda water is one of my fave summer drinks.
Perfect for summer. Looks tempting! I’ll drink it all without breathing. 🙂
This recipe is exactly what we in southern Alberta need right now! The heat is great and this refreshing drink is going to be perfect! Thanks!
I love cold drinks like this in the summer…thanks for the recipes…I even drink iced lattes in the hot weather…so good!
mmmmmmmm this looks so tasty, I’m off to the grocery store today to pick up a few things, thanks for this lovely idea! I have company coming this weekend this will be fun.
all it needs is a little umbrella!
I love lemonade and watermelon so put them together and I would be good to go. I have to look for the Minute Maid Smoothies, the kids love smoothies. My go to drink in the summer is a big glass of Iced tea during the week and a cold beer on the weekends.
I finally tried the Strawberry and Banana Minute Maid Smoothie, wow it was better than I thought. I will be trying the other flavour next time.
that would be great to enjoy with a hammock
mmm you are a creative one!! I will have to make this for my girls. I just show them your awesome pics and their telling me they’ll have that on movie night tomorrow night lol
I love cold drinks like these in the summer months. These recipes look wonderful.
i bet this would taste good with ginger ale as well
I love drinking ‘real’ ice tea in the summer. I pile the ice on and flavour with lemon…no sugar! it isn’t fun dieting in summer but this makes it a little more interesting.
The key here, which many people miss, is making impurity free ice with minimal smell or taste from the freezezr
Loved the sound of this recipe, but thought it might be too sweet for my hubby, so I cut the Sprite in half and used some soda water for the rest of the fizz — result was delicious and refreshing.
Yum! I’ve gotta jump on this before watermelon season comes to a close. Perfect for these 90 degree days! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
