Light refreshing drink with watermelon, mint and lime. Perfect for hot days and easy to prepare.
Agua fresca — fresh water. That's what they call it in Mexico, as if blending watermelon were an act of cooking. It isn't. It takes three minutes and reveals its brilliance only on the first sip. The watermelon does everything: sweetness, color, body. The lime pulls it forward, the mint cools what the sun warms. No sugar needed when the melon is ripe — and you know it's ripe when the bottom is yellow and it sounds hollow when you tap it. Serve ice-cold, in a tall glass with a sprig of mint.
