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 every sip from feeling too sweet, while the lime juice brings just enough tartness to make it genuinely craveable. Naturally free of wheat and grain in any form, this is one of those recipes where the diet restriction is essentially a non-issue β the ingredients are as clean and simple as it gets. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives it that smooth, restaurant-quality texture without any pulp or grittiness. 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 popular thing on the table at any backyard gathering.
