Summer time has us in the mood for refreshing beverages. We love a good cocktail but there are plenty of delicious non-alcoholic drinks to be made as well! Currently we are loving Agua Frescas, which are a lighter version of fresh fruit juice. Here are two simple recipes for making your own Agua Fresca.
Watermelon and Mint Agua Fresca, makes 6-8 servings.
Needed: 8 cups seedless watermelon cubes, 2 cups water, 5 tablespoons honey or sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice (plus a few slices for garnish) and mint sprigs.
In a blender combine the watermelon, water, sweetener of choice and lemon juice. Liquefy! You can strain this through a fine mesh sieve or leave the pulp in. Add mint sprigs and garnish with lemon slices.
Cantaloupe and Thyme Agua Fresca, makes 6-8 servings.

Enjoy these over ice! And, if you're feeling it, add a splash or two of vodka or rum. xo. Emma

Hola! I’m from MĂ©xico and I can tell you the aguas frescas of horchata and jamaica are the best here, you have to test them. I live in San Francisco de Campeche a small walled city near the sea, filled with legends of pirates, here very hot, in these days of summer the temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius and fresh water are the best for heat dissipation
Oh, it looks so delicious!
Oh this looks really good! I love the fruits you choose.
Great new blog design by the way.
Really clean and calm. I love it!
