EQUIPMENT

  • Blender
  • Juicer

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 cups watermelon (cubed or juiced)
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 cups water (divided)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Place the watermelon, lime juice, sugar and 1 cup of the water in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Strain the watermelon mixture into a pitcher and discard solids.
  • Add the remaining water to the pitcher and stir to combine.
  • Chill until ready to serve.

NOTES

  • For garnishes: if desired, dip the rims of the glasses into a bowl of water then place the glasses, rim side down, onto a plate of coarse sugar and rotate until rims are coated with sugar. Pour agua fresca into the sugar rimmed glasses and top with mint sprigs, lime slices and/or watermelon wedges.
  • Running the watermelon through a juicer removes the need to strain the mixture before serving.
