We love to eat watermelon plain or in salad but we especially love to drink it. It’s so refreshing and it goes so well with so many different flavor combinations.
It’s also great for parties. In today’s article, I’ll share with you my favorite new watermelon recipe—Watermelon Mint Lemonade.
The secret to the easy-factor is that Yes—I do use pre-made lemonade.
My reasoning is that it has the same amount of sugar as if you were to make it yourself and it’s just, well… easier!

How to Make a Watermelon Drink Dispenser
Several years ago, I learned about using your watermelon as a drink dispenser. I thought this was a completely brilliant idea and wrote a whole article about it but I was too nervous to try it.
Well, fast forward to the pandemic where I’ve been cooking real meals 3 X a day for an entire year….Now I’m much more confident in my culinary abilities.
So I decided to go for it!
And ya know what?
It was actually SUPER EASY! I swear!
Can I make the watermelon drink dispenser ahead of time?
Yes! You can certainly make the watermelon drink dispenser ahead of time. Simply wrap in plastic wrap and store in the fridge the day before you need it. When you go to use it, pour out any liquid that has accumulated and add your beverage.
How to Make a Watermelon Drink Dispenser
To see the video that I used, visit my How to Make a Watermelon drink Dispenser article. (I followed the first video).
But basically, all you do is make a flat base by slicing off the bottom. Then you cut a flat piece off the top so you can scoop the insides.
Next, carve a hole with an apple core tool. This sounds a little scary but it’s super easy!
Then scoop out the inside fruit. Keep the fruit in a bowl and set aside. Only scoop out to JUST below your spigot hole.
Then attach a spigot. (I took one off of my plastic drink dispenser).
And voila you’re ready to make some fun watermelon juice!
