Cherry Watermelon Agua Fresca

• ½ small seedless watermelon (about 3–4 cups diced)
  
• 1 cup frozen dark cherries
  
• 3 fresh mint leaves, washed
  
• 1 lime (for zest and juice)
  
• 2 cups ice
  
• Optional: 1 Tbsp agave nectar or 2½ tsp granulated sugar
• Optional (Adult Version): Splash of white rum or vodka

Chef Tip: Look for limes with smooth, glossy skin—they’re often juicier and pack more flavor into your dish.

Wash and dry the watermelon. Cut in half and dice one half into medium cubes (about 3–4 cups).

2. Add diced watermelon to a blender. Blend until smooth. 
3. Add frozen cherries, mint leaves, lime zest, and lime juice. Blend again until fully combined. 
4. Taste and adjust for sweetness. Add optional sweetener if desired.
   

• • Before serving, you can strain the Agua fresca to remove the fiber if you prefer a smoother texture.

5.  Pour into a pitcher, add ice, stir, and let sit for 5 minutes to chill.

6. Serve over ice and enjoy!
