Few drinks capture the feeling of a hot summer day quite like a cold glass of agua fresca, and this watermelon version is pure refreshment in a pitcher. Fresh watermelon gets blended with bright mint, tangy lime juice, a touch of honey, and just a pinch of sea salt β then strained until silky smooth for that classic, lightly sweet sip. The salt is a small but brilliant move, pulling out the natural sweetness of the watermelon without making the drink taste salty at all. Everything here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-reading or substitution stress β just clean, whole ingredients you can feel good about. Straining through a fine-mesh sieve gives it that gorgeous, jewel-toned finish that looks just as stunning as it tastes. Serve it over a big pile of ice with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge, and it's instantly the most beautiful thing on the table. This is the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you might want to make a double batch.
