Watermelon Agua Fresca
This refreshing summer beverage is simple to make and delightfully delicious! With only 3 ingredients, this Watermelon Agua Fresca is sure to please. It’s a great Cinco de Mayo mocktail to enjoy with Easy Instant Pot Pork Carnitas!
It’s summertime and it’s hot! My favorite way to cool down is to grab an icy cold drink. This watermelon agua fresca is my new favorite. It’s so easy to make too.
Watermelon Agua Fresca not only tastes good, it’s also good for you! Watermelon is naturally low in calories and contains a high amount of vitamin A & C.
I love this refreshing drink because I can sip a drink that tastes delicious, but I also don’t have to worry about blowing all my calories on a beverage. During summer, that’s a win-win in my book!

⏲️ Storage
Watermelon Aqua Fresca is best served right when it’s made. It can be made and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days however.
📖 Variations
- If your watermelon isn’t very sweet, add a small amount of agave nectar when you’re blending the fruit.
- For a more tart drink, double the lime juice.
- I prefer to use carbonated water because I love the added fizz, but you can use flat water as well.
- Make an aqua Fresca drink with other varieties of fresh fruit, such as mango, strawberries, or pineapple.
- Watermelon Aqua Fresca is a non-alcoholic drink, but if you like, you can add a splash of vodka or rum to the drink for an easy cocktail.

This looks so tasty! I can’t wait to try it this weekend at a party I’m having! Do you think I could add a little alcohol to give it a quick… what would you recommend?
Yes, you definitely could! I’m not a big drinker, so I don’t know what would be good, but maybe some watermelon vodka? Let me know what you use!
