Ingredients

  • 1 medium cucumber Regular, slicing cucumbers, English cucumbers or Persian cucumbers
  • 6 cups ripe watermelon, cut into cubes seedless preferred
  • 2 limes
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1 cup ice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel the cucumber, then slice it lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, then cut the cucumber into medium-sized pieces.
  2. Add water, watermelon, cucumber, juice from both limes, and ice to the blender.
  3. Blend until smooth.
  4. Taste the blended mixture. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add the sweetener of your choice and blend again to incorporate.
  5. For a completely smooth consistency, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp. If you're using a high-powered blender, like a Vitamix, you may not need to strain the juice.
  6. Pour into a pitcher or bottle and refrigerate until cold (about 1 hour). For immediate serving, pour over ice in individual glasses. Avoid adding ice directly to the pitcher to prevent diluting the agua fresca in the pitcher.
  7. Optional Rim: Dip your glasses in chamoy, then Tajin chile powder for a delicious sweet, tangy, and spicy rim.

Notes

  • Optional: Mix in small pieces of a watermelon and cucumber into the pitcher for another garnish idea.
