Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Seedless watermelon
- 3 cups Cantaloupe
- 3 cups Cold sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey or agave syrup
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the seedless watermelon and cantaloupe into bite-sized cubes.
Add the watermelon and cantaloupe cubes into a blender. Blend on high until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Place a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended fruit mixture through the sieve, pressing gently with a spoon to extract the juice while separating the pulp.
Add the fresh lime juice and honey (or agave syrup) to the juice. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Pour the watermelon-cantaloupe juice into a large pitcher. Slowly add the cold sparkling water and stir gently to combine, ensuring you preserve the fizziness.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the agua fresca over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
