PREP
10 Min

Agua frescas (Spanish for water refreshments) are popular in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, and are made from fruits blended with sugar and water to make a non-alcoholic beverage. Due to the natural sweetness of watermelon, a minimal amount of additional sugar is required.

What You'll Need

  • 1 cup finely chopped watermelon
  • 7 cup coarsely chopped watermelon
  • 6 cup watermelon juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Water

What to Do

  1. In a large serving pitcher, combine all ingredients except water; stir gently. Add water to desired taste and consistency.

Notes

  • If you'd like to cut the calories in this refreshing drink, feel free to substitute artifical sweetener for the sugar.
     
  • If you'd like, you can garnish with watermelon wedges and mint.
