Rice Free Watermelon Mint Agua Fresca

Few drinks capture the feeling of a hot afternoon quite like a cold glass of this blended watermelon refresher. Fresh mint, bright lime juice, and a touch of honey come together with ripe watermelon to create something that tastes far more special than the effort it requires. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, jewel-toned drink that's light and clean — nothing heavy or cloudy about it. Naturally, this kind of recipe is a total non-issue for anyone avoiding rice, since every single ingredient here is a whole, unprocessed food straight from your kitchen counter or fridge. The tiny pinch of sea salt is the quiet hero, rounding out the sweetness and making the watermelon flavor pop in a way you might not expect. Serve it over a generous pile of ice with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge, and it looks like something you'd pay too much for at a rooftop bar. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you may want to double the batch.
