Few drinks are as instantly refreshing as a cold glass of agua fresca on a warm day, and this watermelon version is pure summer 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 gorgeous as it tastes. The ingredients here are naturally low in nickel, which makes this a smart pick for anyone navigating that restriction — no grains, legumes, or high-nickel produce in sight. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives the final drink a smooth, almost elegant texture that feels far more special than the minimal effort involved. The honey rounds out the tartness of the lime without tipping into cloying sweetness, and the mint keeps every sip feeling cool and lively. It's the kind of thing you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all week, ready to pour over ice whenever the mood strikes.
