Instructions

If you haven’t already, chop up your watermelon into bite-sized pieces. (I made you a video and detail how to do this above in the post!)
Measure out your watermelon, water and lemon juice into the blender.
Add the sugar. (See the note below about the sugar, as your agua fresca might not need it!)
Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh strainer.
Stir together using a wooden spoon, and then serve over ice.
Garnish with little watermelon wedges if you’re feeling fancy!

Notes

Adapted from my Strawberry Pineapple Agua Fresca recipe.
Depending on how sweet your watermelon is, you might not need toadd sugar at all. I added ¼ cup to my first batch, and it was way too sweet for me. Use your discretion on the sweetness, and add a little bit and taste before adding more.
Simple swap: You can easily swap LIMES for the lemon in this recipe! We keep lemons on hand at all times, so I used lemons, but I know lime juice would be awesome in this agua fresca, too.
Easy entertaining tip: This Watermelon Agua Fresca can be made in advance, but it might separate in the refrigerator. If this happens, blend it again before serving OR stir vigorously with a wooden spoon. (Personally, I like the blender option because I like for it to be a little frothy, but to each their own.)
