Lupin Free Watermelon Cucumber Mint Agua Fresca
This blended drink is the definition of summer in a glass — cool, lightly sweet, and bright with fresh lime and mint. Ripe watermelon and crisp English cucumber get blended together and strained into a silky, jewel-toned agua fresca that tastes like it came from a fancy juice bar. A touch of honey and a pinch of sea salt round out the flavor in a way that feels surprisingly sophisticated for such a simple process. Every ingredient here is naturally whole and clean, so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything hiding in a packet or premix. The straining step is worth the extra minute — it gives the drink that smooth, refreshing texture that makes it so easy to sip. Adjust the honey and lime to your own taste before chilling, and it's ready to pour over ice whenever you need it most.
