Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 cups diced watermelon
  • 4 cups cold water
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (plus more as needed)
  • Lime wedges (for garnish)
  • Mint sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the diced watermelon, cold water, and half of the granulated sugar into a large blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and free of chunks.
  2. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the blended mixture and add the remaining sugar if additional sweetness is desired. Blend briefly to incorporate the added sugar.
  3. Serve or Chill: Pour the agua fresca over ice immediately for a refreshing drink, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Garnish each serving with lime wedges and mint sprigs to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet watermelons for the best flavor.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more cold water to dilute.
  • Adjust sugar quantity based on your taste and the sweetness of the watermelon.
  • This drink can be strained if you prefer a smoother texture without pulp.
  • Serve chilled with plenty of ice for maximum refreshment.
