Gluten Free Watermelon Mint Agua Fresca

Few drinks capture the feeling of summer quite like a cold glass of agua fresca, and this watermelon version is pure refreshment in a pitcher. Ripe watermelon gets blended with fresh mint, bright lime juice, a touch of honey, and a pinch of sea salt before being strained into a silky, jewel-toned drink that looks as stunning as it tastes. The mint adds a cool, herbal lift that keeps each sip from feeling too sweet, while the lime juice brings just enough tartness to make everything pop. Naturally, this is a drink that works beautifully for anyone avoiding gluten — every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, with zero hidden additives to worry about. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve is the small step that takes it from smoothie territory to that gorgeous, restaurant-quality pour. Serve it over a big pile of ice with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim, and it instantly becomes the most photogenic thing on the table. Make a double batch — it disappears fast.
