Choose a ripe, sweet watermelon to create a refreshing summer watermelon lime agua fresca.
Ingredients:
  • 4 cups cubed seeded watermelon
  • 2.5 cups water, divided
  • 1 cup peeled, chopped cucumber
  • 0.25 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®)
  • 1 wedge fresh lime
  • ice as needed
  • 4 slices watermelon
  • 4 slices lime
Instructions:
  • Blend watermelon and 1 1/2 cups water until smooth. Add cucumber, lime juice, and sugar; blend until well combined. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, pressing with a spatula to remove pulp. This step is crucial, don't skip it.
  • Transfer the filtered mixture to a spacious pitcher, pour in the remaining cup of water, and stir thoroughly. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, or longer if desired.
  • Sprinkle the Tajin® (chili lime seasoning) onto a small plate. Use the lime wedge to wet the top of the glass, then dip the rim into the seasoning.
  • Fill the glass with ice, pour in the refreshing agua fresca, and top it off with watermelon and lime slices for a delightful presentation.
