Watermelon Agua Fresca Recipe

Learn how to make the best Watermelon Agua Fresca sweetened with honey in this easy summer drink recipe.

Fresh watermelon signals the beginning of summer. One of our favorite ways to enjoy watermelon is in a delicious Watermelon Agua Fresca sweetened with honey.

You can substitute granulated sugar or maple syrup in place of honey, but we like using honey from a local beekeeper. You can also make this recipe with any other type of melon like honeydew or cantaloupe as well.

Agua Fresca also makes great popsicles! Just pour it into a popsicle mold and in a couple hours the kids will have some yummy ice pops to enjoy!
