Watermelon Agua Fresca is a refreshing and simple drink perfect for hot days. To make it, you need fresh watermelon, water, lime juice, and a bit of sweetener like sugar or honey if desired. Start by cutting the watermelon into chunks and removing the seeds. Blend the watermelon pieces until smooth, then strain the mixture to remove any pulp. Mix the watermelon juice with water and lime juice to taste. Add sweetener if needed, stir well, and chill the drink in the refrigerator. Serve over ice and enjoy a cool, hydrating beverage.
Ingredients:
½ large watermelon (or 7 cups)
½ lime or lemon juice
2 to 3 cups of water
Ice
Mint
Sugar (if needed)
Mocktail ingredients:
Tajin/Powdered chili
Preferred hot sauce
Preferred Mexican candy
Instructions:
Cut the watermelon in half. Taste the watermelon to see if it’s sweet enough. If not, add sugar.
Slice the watermelon into small cubes so it fits in the blender. Then add the three cups of water to the blender and blend until smooth.
If desired, strain the pulp out.
Next, add the lime and mint.
Finally, pour the drink into the glass and add small watermelon cubes.
Mocktail instructions:
Rim your glass with the hot sauce then dip it into your powdered chili.
Cut the Mexican candy into small bits and add to the drink.
Tip: If watermelon isn’t sweet, add 1/4 cup of sugar or adjust to your favorite sweetener. Tastes best when cold!
