Ingredients

4 cups water, divided
3 cups chopped fresh fruit (e.g., watermelon, cantaloupe, or pineapple)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
ice cubes for serving
fresh mint or lime slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Place 1 cup of water, the chopped fruit, lime juice, and sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.
Stir in the remaining 3 cups of water. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice as needed.
Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. Serve over ice, garnished with mint or lime slices if desired.

Tips

Use ripe, sweet fruit for best flavor; adjust sugar based on fruit sweetness.
Agua fresca is best consumed within 24 hours; stir before serving as solids may settle.
Try combinations like strawberry-lime or cucumber-mint for variety.
