Aguas frescas are popular fresh-fruit drinks in Mexico. Although water is a standard ingredient, this undiluted version is a thirst-quenching refresher whether accompanying spicy foods or sipped in the sun. Points 2. Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs seedless watermelon, rind removed and diced (about 7 cups) |
1 cup fruit-sweetened cranberry juice (sometimes called cranberry nectar) |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
1 lime, cut into 6 slices |
Directions:
1. Place the melon in a blender or food processor.
2. Process until smooth.
3. Pass the puree through a fine-mesh sieve placed over a bowl to eliminate the pulp and clarify the juice.
4. Pour the juice into a large pitcher.
5. Add the cranberry and lime juices and stir to combine.
6. Refrigerate until very cold.
7. Pour into tall chilled glasses and garnish each with a fresh lime slice.
