Mushroom Free Classic Watermelon Agua Fresca
Few drinks capture the spirit of summer quite like a tall glass of this blended watermelon refresher. It's bright, lightly sweet, and finished with a squeeze of fresh lime that makes every sip feel like a mini vacation. The whole thing comes together in minutes — just blend, strain, and season to taste. A pinch of salt might sound unexpected, but it quietly amplifies the natural sweetness of the watermelon in the best possible way. Since it's built entirely from fresh fruit, citrus, and pantry staples, there's absolutely nothing to second-guess about what's in your glass. Serve it straight over ice with a lime wedge on the rim and it looks as good as it tastes.
