Low Sodium Mint & Lime Watermelon Agua Fresca

Few drinks are as instantly refreshing as a well-made agua fresca, and this watermelon version is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Ripe watermelon gets blended with fresh lime juice and mint, then strained into a gorgeous, clear pink liquid that looks almost too pretty to drink. The mint goes in first with cold water so it breaks down completely, giving every sip a cool, herbal lift that balances the natural sweetness of the fruit beautifully. Because the only sweetener here is optional honey added to your own taste, you're fully in control of what goes into the glass — no hidden sodium, no mystery additives, just whole ingredients you can see and trust. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve is the move that takes this from a smoothie to a proper, elegant drink with a silky, clean finish. It's equally at home at a backyard cookout or a lazy afternoon on the porch, and the lime wheels and mint sprigs make it feel genuinely special with almost zero extra effort.
