Watermelon Agua Fresca

Tracy Knutsen

This light, refreshing drink popularized in Mexico, is a terrific thirst quencher on a hot summer day. The trick to making agua fresca (Spanish for “fresh water”) is to infuse the water with fruit essence without turning it into a smoothie or a slushy drink.

Watermelon Agua Fresca

Ingredients: 
6 pounds seedless watermelon, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
Ice cubes for serving
Method: 
In a blender, combine half of the watermelon and 1 cup cold water and blend until smooth. Pour through a strainer into a pitcher; discard solids. Repeat with remaining watermelon and 1 cup cold water. You should have about 8 cups juice. Stir in lime juice and agave and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve well-chilled over ice.
