Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed seeded watermelon
- 2 ½ cups water, divided
- 1 cup peeled, chopped cucumber
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®)
- 1 wedge fresh lime
- ice as needed
- 4 slices watermelon
- 4 slices lime
Instructions
- Place watermelon and 1 1/2 cups water in a blender, and process at high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add cucumber, lime juice, and sugar; blend until smooth. Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer and using a spatula, press to remove the pulp. Don’t skip this step, it’s important.
- Pour the strained mixture into a large pitcher, add remaining 1 cup water, and stir well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or longer.
- Sprinkle some Tajin® (chili lime seasoning) onto a small plate. Run the lime wedge around the top of the glass, invert the glass, and dip the rim into the seasoning.
- Fill the glass with ice, pour in the agua fresca, garnish with watermelon slices or wedges, and lime slices.
