Watermelon Mint Agua Fresca

A refreshing drink on a hot day. If you like a less sweet beverage, this is great on its own. But for a hint more oomph, I also add mint simple syrup to taste. This only takes a few minutes to make and adds another dimension.

Author's Notes

If your party is strictly grown-ups, I’ll look the other way if you want to tip some rum or tequila into the mix.
