Watermelon and Mint Agua Fresca Recipe

These Watermelon-Mint Aguas Frescas are also known as Spanish Cool Waters and are perfect for the weekend!
Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 6 -8

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sliced fresh watermelon
  • 1 cup fresh chopped honeydew
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 1-2 tsp simple syrup
  • 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2-3 cups distilled/purified water

Instructions

  • Puree all ingredients in a blender,
  • Pour into a fine mesh strainer to get rid of pulp, working in batches if necessary and using a large bowl or pitcher to catch the juices. Work through with water as pulp becomes too thick and is resistant to straining. You may need to restrain depending on how much pulp is still in the juice at the end.
  • Add up to 3 cups of water to the juice mixture, depending on how strong you would like the flavours to be. Keep in mind this drink is supposed to be refreshing with a subtle flavour.
  • Enjoy as is or add 1 oz of your favourite liquor to a tall glass of Aguas Frescas (we prefer vodka for a more subtle flavour).
