Few drinks capture the feeling of summer quite like a tall glass of watermelon agua fresca โ cold, refreshing, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat without being over the top. This version blends fresh watermelon with a splash of lime juice and a pinch of salt, which might sound unexpected but actually makes the fruit flavor pop in the best way. The whole thing comes together in minutes with nothing more than a blender and a fine-mesh strainer, so there's almost no cleanup and no cooking involved. Every ingredient here is naturally free from soy, which means no label-scanning or ingredient anxiety โ just clean, simple produce and pantry staples. The lime wedges on the side are a small touch that makes a big difference, brightening each sip with a little extra citrus. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast at a backyard gathering, so you may want to double the batch before guests arrive.

Add the watermelon cubes and cold water to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 30โ45 seconds.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher. Pour the blended watermelon through the strainer, pressing gently on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp left in the strainer.
