Thanks for this one! I too made some into delicious popsicles.

Unrelated question: have you ever heard of or made White Russian cookies? They have Kahlua and coffee, with white chocolate chips, and are so delicious. The cookie place near my college makes them, and I tried to google up a recipe with no luck. Now I’m thinking I’ll try to adapt one, but wondered if you had any thoughts?

I made this into popsicles for a work BBQ and they were quite the hit. This froze wonderfully for popsicles; just the right texture.

I don’t even like watermelon and this makes me want some!

Any chance you can share some more of your mommy-to-be mocktail recipes, Deb? I’m hosting a mocktail birthday party and the birthday girl loves SK.

This is wonderful! It is so hot here right now and this is really tasty and refreshing. Super easy too. And your hubby is correct: It is great with a little vodka ;-)

I made this for my family recently. It was SO good. Everybody loved it, even my two picky kids. Thank you for posting this. It’s now one of my favorite drink recipes.

Just made this today! Delicious. I also went ahead and made regular lemonade, strawberry lemonade and blueberry lemonade. Our lemon tree is prolific. I bottled up all of my creations and now my family has some awesome lemonade variations for these hot So Cal days. We like our lemonade on the tart side, so I only used about 2/3 the sugar and amped up the lemon. Thanks Deb!

I just made this recipe – to the letter. (I went for broke and used fizzy water.) The only clean glass on hand that I had was an very large pilsner glass. I now called the Gluttony Glass, because the entire batch, along with a couple of ice cubes, fit perfectly. Of course, I kicked back and sipped it. All of it. So. Delicious.

I like this as much as I like Basil Lemonade. (I know, it sounds odd but it tastes divine. I like it for those times when I want full-on lemony lemonade. Although add more or less basic sugar syrup to get it just how you like. The recipe is from one of Giada DeLaurentiis’ cookbooks, and is online here. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/italian-lemonade-recipe/index.html)

Thanks, Deb.

i’m laughing hysterically because i figured i was the only weirdo who would ask about the beautiful ice cubes. ah, so lovely to find members of your tribe in the world! i just had the loveliest brunch cocktail that had watermelon juice and cucumber. kiinda like a watermelon pimms. it would have surely been enhanced by lovelier ice cubes.
