To make watermelon taste brighter, add a spritz or two of fresh lemon juice. Its contrasting acidity plays off the watermelon's one-dimensional sweetness and adds some zing.

By spritzing a bit of lemon on each bite of your watermelon, you can enjoy the refreshing flavor combination of a watermelon lemonade without the hassle of making one.

Plus, the lemon’s acidity kicks saliva production into high gear, allowing you to taste other flavors on the tongue while pumping up existing flavors with its hit of brightness.
