Watermelon agua fresca

Cooking Coctails Watermelon agua fresca

This Mexican drink literally means fresh water. It makes a wonderfully refreshing cocktail with a splash of vodka, too.

  1. Peel the watermelon, then cut into pieces. In batches, place the watermelon and any juices in a blender or food processor, then blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, then add lime juice, sugar and mint. Stir to dissolve sugar, then cover and stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
  2. Pass the watermelon mixture through a sieve, pressing down on the solids.
  3. Pour the watermelon juice into a large jug of ice, add lime slices and mint sprigs, then top up with sparkling water.
