Vegan Mint & Lime Watermelon Agua Fresca

Few drinks capture the feeling of summer quite like a cold, jewel-bright glass of watermelon agua fresca. This version layers in fresh mint and bright lime juice for a drink that's floral, citrusy, and deeply refreshing all at once. The technique here is what sets it apart — blending the mint with cold water first ensures every sip carries that clean, herbal punch before the watermelon even enters the picture. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, clear pink liquid that looks absolutely stunning poured over ice. A little optional sweetener lets you dial in the balance to your own taste, which is especially handy depending on how sweet your watermelon is. Since every ingredient is naturally plant-based, there's nothing to swap or substitute — just whole fruit, fresh herbs, and citrus doing all the work. Garnished with mint sprigs and lime wheels, this is the kind of drink you'll want to make in a big pitcher every single weekend.
