Occupational Lemonade

A few weeks ago I graduated from Occupational Therapy school!  I'm officially a Master of something and have a diploma to prove it!!  Completely excited and amazed to be finished with a such a large undertaking. This second school experience has lead me on to greater purpose in life and so many new friends.

To celebrate my parents and I threw a casual graduation party!  Typical fan fare with friends, family, food and relaxed fun. For my Pintrest Pin Drink I created Watermelon-Rosemary Lemonade and it was quite the hit if I do say so myself.

A fantastically tasty drink very reminiscent of the Watermelon Rosemary lemonade from Lemonade. I love the combination of watermelon and lemonade!  The hint of rosemary is fantastically refreshing.

I used a recipe that was floating around Pintrest and led me back to AllRecipes.com.  It was created my the AllRecipes.com user ErinMarie and the link can be found here!! It was fate that I saw this before planning the party. She did a great job with the recreation of the recipie.  It's super close to that delicious drink.  Plus it's fantastic that AllRecipes allows for chancing the serving size and can tell you how much more ingredients you'll need.

I made a slight adjustment to my version of the drink.  Since I didn't want to juice a bunch of lemons (to get 2 cups worth of lemon juice) I purchased pre-made lemonade and used that instead. If you're going to follow in my footsteps, I'd say you can decrease the amount of sugar used in the rosemary infusion syrup because otherwise the drink is VERY sweet. I also used about 3 sprigs of rosemary for each serving I made (I'm a fan of making sure the hard work is noted, didn't want to rosemary to get lost in the mix of flavors).

All in all it's a fantastic summer choice and refreshing on hot days.  Plus, now that I have mastered the infusion process, I'm thinking that I can add herbs to everything!!
