Creamy Watermelon Agua Fresca (Agua de Sandía Cremosa)
This Creamy Watermelon Agua Fresca is a dairy-free twist on the classic Mexican drink. Fresh watermelon, coconut milk, and dairy-free creamer create a smooth, refreshing drink that's perfect for hot summer days.
Equipment
- Pitcher
- mixing spoon
Ingredients
- 5 cups chopped seedless watermelon
- 2 cups cold water, divided
- 1 cup refrigerated unsweetened coconut milk
- ½ cup dairy-free creamer
- honey simple syrup or preferred sweetener to taste
Optional Simple Syrup
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup honey
Instructions
- Add the watermelon and 1 cup of the cold water to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the blended watermelon juice into a large pitcher.
- Stir in the remaining 1 cup water, coconut milk, and dairy-free creamer until well combined.
- Taste and add ¼ cup of honey simple syrup at a time (or preferred sweetener), if desired, until it reaches your preferred sweetness.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until well chilled.
- Stir before serving and pour over ice.
Notes
- Use refrigerated coconut milk, not canned, for the mildest flavor.
- Sweetness will vary depending on the ripeness of your watermelon.
- I prefer not to strain the watermelon so the drink keeps more of the fruit's natural texture and flavor. However, if you use a watermelon with seeds, then straining will be necessary.
- Natural separation is normal. Simply stir before serving.
