Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Fruit
Wash the fresh fruit thoroughly. If using watermelon or cantaloupe, cut them in half, scoop out the flesh, and chop into chunks. If using mango, peel the skin and cut the flesh away from the pit, then chop into pieces.

Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, water, sugar, and lime juice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
- 3
Strain the Mixture (Optional)
If you prefer a smoother texture, pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large pitcher. Use a spatula to press the liquid through, leaving pulp behind.

Add Mint and Ice
If desired, add mint leaves to the pitcher for extra flavor. Stir in the ice cubes. Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.
- 5
Serve
Pour the Agua Fresca into glasses, garnish with additional mint leaves or fruit slices if desired, and serve immediately.
