½ inch chopped ginger

lemon juice (or as required)

sugar (or add as required, optional)

ice cubes ((optional))

mint leaves (or mint sprig - for garnish, optional)

Blend all the chopped watermelon cubes, ginger, lemon juice, sugar and water in a blender.

Keep a large bowl or pan below a medium mesh strainer.

Pour the juice on the strainer.

Press the pulp on the strainer with the back of a spoon so that the extra juice also filters through. If you want you can skip this step of straining the juice.

Discard the pulp.

Pour the agua fresca in glasses and add a few ice cubes if you like.

This is my second time making this, and it's a easy delish drink. I use sparking water and simple syrup.

This is easy to make and so refreshing as well as delicious!

It was great!  I did, for my needs, added some cucumber to make if further but that’s just me. Thanks chef!

Perfect for this summer.  It has been 110 here for the past 3 days.  I hate it already.
My Mother made this for us when we were kids all the time.  I have made a few different kinds myself, they are so refreshing.  We put a little bit of chili in ours, 
Stay cool Chef....I think we're in for it this Summer....

Will make this, it looks delicious. Thank you for this recipe.

Aguas Frescas translate to &quot;cool waters.&quot; These are made from watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew. This Mexican refreshing beverage, is perfect for a warm day.

Aguas Frescas

honeydew (flesh chopped up, seeds and skin discarded)

sugar (if needed)

cantaloupe (flesh and seeds scooped out)

Place a medium-fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. You most likely will need to do this in batches (I have a pretty big blender and had to do it in batches).

To a blender, add the honeydew, water, sugar and lime juice. Pulse until completely smooth and pureed. Pour the mixture into the strainer, allowing it to drain. Feel free to help it along by stirring it with a whisk. Give it a taste and add any more sugar, if needed. Transfer it to pitcher and place in the fridge to chill.

To Make Honeydew Agua Fresca:

To a blender, add the cubed watermelon and water. Pulse until pureed and very smooth. Give it a taste; adjust the sugar accordingly. If it's at the beginning of the summer, you may need to add a bit of sugar, toward the end of the season, the watermelons will be super sweet and will need none at all.

Pour the mixture through a strainer and into a pitcher, pressing the watermelon pulp with the back of a spoon to release any excess juices. Transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.

To Make Watermelon Agua Fresca:

To a blender, add the cantaloupe flesh, its seeds, water, sugar and lime juice. Pulse until completely smooth and pureed. Pour the mixture into the strainer, allowing it to drain. Feel free to help it along by stirring it with a whisk. Give it a taste and add any more sugar, if needed. Transfer it to pitcher and place in the fridge to chill.

To Make Cantaloupe Agua Fresca:

I had agua fresca (beautiful sound for cool water!) in two Mexican restaurants. and I wanted to make watermelon version by myself. I liked your recipe since you give specific thoughts to watermelon as well as to other fruits.  It is a simple drink, but it tastes great, just by being natural. The straining with a colander was easier than I had thought, and it removed all the seeds. Thank you for teaching me! I will try with cantaloupe or honeydew and... pineapple next time.

I've got two questions, but first I just wanted to say congratulations and keep up the great work! I love your book, and just happened to wind up here by chance after looking for some Agua Fresca recipes.

1. Why do you add the seeds with the cantaloupe flesh, while they are discarded from the honeydew?

2. How long do you suppose they'd keep, refrigerated in a sealed bottle? (Psh, like I'm not gonna down it all the second it's ready!)

Thanks again!

Just made the watermelon agua fresca and it’s so good! More cost effective than buying watermelon juice from the shop downtown, and no more work to make it than to drive all the way there.  Watermelon is my fave thing about summer.

Such a great idea! I love how easy they are! Also beautiful pictures as always. Thanks for sharing!
