Watermelon Agua Fresca
Sweet, juicy watermelon blended into a bright, chilled sipper and served straight from the melon itself, this is the drink that turns any backyard hangout into a proper summer party.
Ingredients
- 1 large seedless watermelon
- 4 limes juiced
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 4 cups water divided
- 24 fresh mint leaves
- 8 cups ice or as needed
Instructions
- Start by cutting the top off the watermelon with a sharp serrated knife. Then scoop out the insides with an ice cream scoop or large spoon. Cover the watermelon with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to chill.
- Place watermelon, lime juice, sugar, and 1 cup of water into a blender and blend for about 30 seconds. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer back into the watermelon. Fill with remaining water, adjust the lime or sugar if you want.
