Peanut Free Mint & Lime Watermelon Agua Fresca

Few drinks capture the feeling of summer quite like a cold glass of agua fresca, and this watermelon version with mint and lime is genuinely hard to put down. The process starts by blending fresh mint leaves with cold water first, which pulls out that vivid green color and bright herbal flavor before the fruit even hits the blender — a small step that makes a big difference. Ripe watermelon and fresh lime juice go in next, and after a quick strain through a fine-mesh sieve, you're left with a clear, jewel-pink drink that looks almost too pretty to sip. A little honey stirred in at the end lets you dial the sweetness exactly where you want it, or skip it entirely if your watermelon is already perfectly ripe. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and tree nuts, so there's no label-reading anxiety — just whole fruit, fresh herbs, citrus, and water. It's the kind of refresher that works equally well for a backyard cookout, a weekday afternoon, or a pitcher left in the fridge for whenever the craving hits. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel and it looks like something from a restaurant menu with almost zero effort.
