Rosemary-Infused Watermelon Lemonade

Submitted by: ERINMARIE

Home Town: Anaheim, California, USA

Living In: Long Beach, California, USA

This is a recipe I created in an effort to duplicate my favorite lemonade from a cafe in downtown L.A. called, well, 'Lemonade'. I don't like it too sweet, so if you want to add more sugar, cool. But I think that this recipe is perfect. It also makes a great martini served in a sugar-rimmed glass with a garnish of watermelon wedge and a twist of lemon! Simply fabulous!
