As I mentioned last week, the current issue of Bon Apetit included an entire section on Agua Fresca. If I am not careful, this could become an obsession. For the 4th, I made this one and just can’t get enough of it. It’s so refreshing. And I absolutely love that everything in it is natural. No sugar added!
Preparation:
Working in batches, puree an entire watermelon, chopped in a blender until smooth. Pour into a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes, then spoon off foam. Set a fine-mesh sieve over a large pitcher. Strain puree into pitcher (I did this process twice to remove excess pulp). Makes about 8 cups of juice. Add 1 cup fresh grapefruit juice. Fill glasses with ice. Divide among glasses. Serves 8.

This looks amazing. It would be even more amazing with booze in it. Have you tried it like that?
We have. I didn’t care for it- it doesn’t mask the alcohol taste enough for me, but Jon enjoyed it.
