Turmeric Free Classic Watermelon Agua Fresca

Few drinks capture the feeling of summer quite like a tall glass of watermelon agua fresca — cold, lightly sweet, and refreshing in a way that no store-bought juice can match. This version blends fresh watermelon with cold water, a squeeze of lime, a pinch of salt, and just enough sugar to let the fruit shine without tipping into candy territory. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, smooth drink that looks gorgeous in a pitcher and goes down incredibly easy. The lime juice adds a bright, citrusy lift that keeps every sip from feeling one-note. Because the recipe relies entirely on whole fruit and pantry staples, there's no need to scan labels or worry about hidden spice blends — what you see is exactly what goes in the glass. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast at a backyard gathering, so you may want to make a double batch.
