Watermelon Agua Fresca

• portions: 4 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 15 minutes

Ingrédients

2 cups (12 to 14 ounces) cubed watermelon, plus 4 bite-size cubes for serving

Tajín (optional)

8 ounces water

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Ice

Instructions

Step 1

Place the 4 bite-size watermelon cubes on a plate and, if using, lightly dust them on all sides with the Tajín.

Step 2

In a blender, combine the remaining 2 cups of the watermelon, water, sugar, lime juice and cayenne and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a 1-quart container, gently pressing down with a flexible spatula to extract all of the juice. (The more you press down, the cloudier the drink will be. Discard the pulp, or use it to make smoothies.)

Step 3

To serve, pour the mixture into ice-filled rocks or favorite similar-size cocktail glasses and garnish each with a cube of watermelon.
