Cool and refreshing, our next summery tip comes from Alison of Oopsey Daisy, and it looks downright DELISH! Take it away, Alison!

Hello, Positively Splendid!
My name is Alison, and my little blogging home is called Oopsey Daisy. 
I am thrilled to be sharing a quick and easy idea to brighten up your summer.
 
When, I think of summer, I think of lots of happy things.
Fireworks and popsicles; swimming pools and parties to plan.
I can hardly wait for summertime to finally pull up a chair and stay a while.
Any good summer barbecue includes a yummy punch!
 

One of the things I love most about summer is watermelon!  The only problem is that in our house, our small family simply can’t eat an entire watermelon before its delicious fruit become damp and slimy.
I do try to avoid wasting even a morsel of watermelon.  So last summer, I started experimenting with recipes for watermelon drinks.
 This recipe is fresh and tasty–plus it helps solve the problem of what to do with excessive amounts of watermelon!  After our family has munched on watermelon all week, we finish off our leftovers by making this watermelon lemonade.
Come along and see how to make this yummy punch… It’s simple!
  
 
 
And that’s it!
Serve it fresh, and you have a yummy punch that appears to be MUCH more complicated than it really is.

I found some green frosted martini glasses to serve this yumminess. 
And yes, I couldn’t resist dropping in a few chocolate chips so it looks like a real watermelon!
     
Want your own printable recipe for Watermelon Lemonade??  You can download the recipe here.
You’ll love it!! I promise!

Thanks, Amy, for letting me share today.  I can’t wait to get more summer survival tips all month long!
