Lemonade & Mint Drink "Limonana"

This drink is screaming summertime and granted its almost October, but in Southern California its still in the 80s so I think its appropriate to make and drink this!  But truth be told, I actually make this drink in the wintertime too, those days when I'm craving summer.  The original Lemon & Mint (laymoon ou na' na') drink is basically just lemons and a ton of mint but we decided to go a step further and add watermelon which also tasted amazing.

Happy summer in October =)
