Have you ever heard of agua fresca? It is a very fancy way of saying sweet juice. Or technically fresh water, but the catch is, it is never just water. I mean, if it was just water it would be called water and that would be boring. And if you are not in the mood for something with alcohol you can sound extra fancy saying “do you have any agua fresca?” as opposed to, “do you have any fruit juice?”
One of my favorite agua fresca’s happens to include one of my favorite summer obsessions, watermelon. And it is so easy and you can really do it with any fruit. I plan on expanding my agua fresca horizons later on this summer. But for now, it is watermelon for me.
Just take some watermelon and put it through a blender or food processor and liquefy. Then strain the watermelon so only the water from the melon remains. Add some simple syrup or agave nectar and perhaps a sprig of mint or a slice of lime and serve over ice.
Enjoy!
