Few drinks capture the spirit of summer quite like a tall, frosty glass of watermelon agua fresca. This version is bright, lightly sweet, and finished with a squeeze of fresh lime that makes the whole thing sing. A pinch of salt might sound unexpected, but it quietly deepens the watermelon flavor in a way that's hard to put your finger on โ you'll just know something tastes exactly right. The process is beautifully simple: blend, strain, stir, and serve. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's nothing to second-guess or swap out โ just pure, refreshing fruit drink from start to finish. It's the kind of thing you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all season long, ready to pour over ice whenever the heat hits.

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.
