Notes

  • NOTE: Nutrition information is estimated. 
  • Before adding the watermelon to a blender, chop it in half, then scoop out large sections with a spoon to dice into smaller chunks. As you're doing this, you'll likely see an abundance of water inside your watermelon half. Don't waste this fresh watermelon water; alternatively, add it to the blender for a more flavorful beverage
  • For best results, serve chilled either from the refrigerator or over ice.
  • If drink turns out too sweet, simply add a bit more lime juice and stir. 
  • Watermelon Agua Fresca naturally separates when it sits for a while, either on the dinner table or in the refrigerator. Be sure to stir thoroughly before serving.
