Watermelon is an obvious choice for summertime refreshment. It's packed with antioxidants, most notably vitamins A and C. Not to mention it's absolutely delicious! The lemon and mint in this recipe provide a tart, rejuvenating flavor that breaks up the sweetness of the watermelon. To make, begin by blending watermelon and water to achieve a smooth texture. Strain the watermelon pulp and discard, keeping only the liquid. Add lemon juice, agave syrup and mint and blend once again. Transfer the liquid into an ice-filled pitcher and serve the thirst-quenching, piquant beverage to your guests. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fruit-infused Beverages:** Businesses can innovate by infusing various fruits to traditional beverages to create new flavors. - **Healthy Refreshments:** Opportunity exists in producing healthy beverages like this lemonade with vitamins and antioxidants. - **DIY Beverage Mixes:** Consumers can be offered convenient and easy-to-use packages to make fruity lemonades at home. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can capitalize on the trend of fruity and healthy drinks during summertime. - **Lifestyle and Wellness:** The wellness industry can leverage fruit-infused beverages as a healthier and refreshing alternative to traditional thirst-quenchers. - **DIY and Home Goods:** The home goods industry can provide DIY Lemonade Mix kits to the consumers who prefer making their own fruity drinks at home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hydrating Melon Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mela-watermelon-water.md) - [Lemonade-Infused Watermelon Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xtreme-watermelon-lemonade-smoothie.md) - [Canned Watermelon Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mela.md) - [Fresh Watermelon Strawberry Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watermelon-strawberry-lemonade.md) - [Hydrating Summertime Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xtreme-watermelon-smoothie.md) - [Refreshing Watermelon Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-watermelon-lemonade.md) - [Watermelon Lemonade Sorbets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watermelon-lemonade-sorbet.md) - [Summery Melon-Infused Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunburst-melon-lemonade.md) - [Mint-Infused Lime Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lime-mint-lemonade.md)
