You'll Want To Sip This 2-Ingredient Watermelon Drink All Summer Long
BY CLAUDIA ALARCÓN
Aguas frescas are a staple in Mexico, especially during the hotter seasons. A refreshing watermelon agua fresca is super easy to make, requiring only fruit and fresh lime juice.
The drink is highly customizable to suit everyone's taste; for a sweeter drink, add agave or stevia to balance out the lime juice. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Fruits like strawberries and blueberries go well with watermelon and enhance the drink with a handful of fresh mint or basil. For a thicker slushy, freeze the watermelon.
If you want a thinner drink, add some water when blending the fruit. You can turn this delicious summer drink into a cocktail by adding tequila, mezcal, vodka, or rum.
