Watermelon Agua Fresca
Watermelon agua fresca is a refreshingly light Mexican beverage that captures summer in a glass with sweet, juicy melon balanced by bright lime and a whisper of mint. The simple blend of fresh fruit, cold water, and a touch of sugar creates something far more elegant than it sounds, perfect for hot afternoons or as a palate cleanser at dinner. Make this crowd-pleasing drink whenever you need something naturally sweet, hydrating, and utterly thirst-quenching.

Instructions
- 1
Add the cubed watermelon to a blender and blend on high speed until completely smooth and liquefied, about 30-45 seconds.
- 2
Strain the watermelon puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing on the solids with a spatula to extract all the juice. Discard the pulp.
- 3
Add the cold water, fresh lime juice, sugar, and sea salt to the pitcher. Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- 4
Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice as needed. The flavor should be light, refreshing, and not overly sweet.
- 5
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the agua fresca to chill thoroughly.
- 6
Stir well before serving over ice in tall glasses. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a lime wheel.
