Few drinks capture the feeling of summer quite like a tall glass of something cold, pink, and impossibly refreshing. This agua fresca blends ripe watermelon with bright lime juice and fresh mint into a drink that looks stunning and tastes even better — floral, citrusy, and just sweet enough. The mint gets blended directly into the water first, so its flavor fully infuses every sip rather than just floating on top as a garnish. Straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you that gorgeous clear, jewel-toned liquid that makes this feel almost too pretty to drink. For anyone navigating yeast-free living, this is the kind of recipe that requires zero label-reading stress — it's built entirely from whole fruit, fresh herbs, citrus, and optional honey, with nothing processed or fermented in sight. A little time in the fridge lets everything meld together beautifully before you pour it over ice. It's the kind of drink you'll want to make in a big pitcher and keep on hand all week.
