Watermelon Agua Fresca

Watermelon Agua Fresca

• Ingredients
• 8 cups cubed seeded watermelon, (about 6 pounds with the rind), divided
• 1 cup water, divided
• 3 tablespoons of agave nectar
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 liter (4 cups) club soda, or seltzer water, well chilled
• Lime slices, for garnish

Method

Combine half the watermelon, half the water, and half the nectar in a blender. Puree.

Pour through a coarse strainer into a large container. 

Repeat with the remaining watermelon, water, and nectar. 

Stir in the lime juice

Refrigerate until well chilled, about 4 hours. 

To serve, stir in club soda (or seltzer) and garnish with lime.

This refreshing drink is served by roadside vendors all over Mexico. 

Not too much fruit, not too much sugar, just a beautiful way to quench your thirst on a summer day.
