Agua de Sandia con Limon
Agua de sandía con limón is the most refreshing memory of my Mexican summers, watermelon and lime blended into something so cool it felt like relief in a glass. There was always a pitcher of some agua fresca going, and on the hottest days this was the one we fought over. It is barely a recipe, just ripe fruit and a squeeze of lime, but it captures summer better than almost anything I know. Here in Arizona, where summer means business, I keep a pitcher in the fridge all season. Blend it, pour it over plenty of ice, and you will see what I mean.
A refreshing and easy Mexican agua fresca made with juicy watermelon, fresh lime juice, and a touch of sugar. Perfect for cooling off on hot summer days, ready in minutes with just a blender
