Emulsifier Free 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. The combination of juicy watermelon, bright lime juice, and fresh mint is clean, cooling, and just a little bit fancy — the kind of drink that looks like it came from a restaurant but comes together entirely in your own blender. Because it's built from whole, recognizable ingredients with no packaged shortcuts, there's nothing lurking in the ingredient list that you didn't put there yourself — no emulsifiers, stabilizers, or additives of any kind. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you that gorgeous, clear pink liquid that's smooth and light rather than pulpy or heavy. A touch of honey lets you dial in the sweetness to your own taste, or you can skip it entirely if the watermelon is already doing its job. Served over ice with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel, this is the kind of drink that makes a regular afternoon feel like a little occasion.
