Pretty, pink, and refreshingly sweet, Watermelon Agua Fresca makes drinking water feel like a party! The watermelon version is perfect during the summer months when watermelon is in peak season. Low in calories and high in flavor, you’ll feel like you’re on vacation with every sip!

Ingredients
- 8 cups seedless watermelon cut into chunks
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (see note 1)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice or more to taste
- 6 small watermelon wedges for garnish, optional
- 6 Lime wedges or wheels, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a blender, combine 4 cups watermelon, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon lime juice and blend until smooth. Pour into a large pitcher.
- Repeat with remaining 4 cups watermelon, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer if desired (see note 2). Chill until serving time.
- To serve, pour over ice-filled glasses and garnish with watermelon wedges and lime wedges, if desired.
Notes
- Sugar: Customize the sweetness level by adding sugar to taste. You can also sweeten hibiscus tea with agave nectar or honey, if desired.
- Straining: is not necessary, but it is recommended if you prefer it to be ultra-smooth. Simply strain it through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher. Straining will reduce the yield to about 6 cups of Watermelon Agua Fresca.
- Yield: My Agua de Jamaica recipe makes 8 cups, enough for 8 refreshing 8-ounce servings.
- Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
