Inspired by Mexican aguas frescas, this drink takes advantage of the leftover fruit from the Watermelon Salad to make a festive and refreshing drink that can be enjoyed with or without the alcohol. This recipe makes 4 drinks.
Ingredients
- 4 cups of watermelon cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup agave syrup or to taste
- 3 limes, juiced
- 1 cup of tequila (optional)
- 2 cans of lime flavor sparkling water
- Sprigs of mint
Preparation
- In a blender puree the watermelon, agave syrup, lime juice and tequila, if used, until smooth.
- Divide drink among 4 tall glasses with ice, top with sparkling water, garnish with a sprig of mint and a fun straw.
Mix it up
You can try a non-flavored sparkling water if you prefer your drink with less limey.
Make your glass more like a margarita and add rim on the salt. The combination of the watermelon and a bit of salt is delicious.
Instead of sparkling water you may want to try sparkling wine, a Prosecco will do the trick.
Tequila gives you headache? Use vodka.
