The line between Mexico and the US has never been such a broad one, and without getting too political, I am grateful for many of the influences provided by Mexico's vibrant culture here in the States. Agua frescas, (fresh waters), or aguas de frutas, (fruit waters) are such a fine, cooling Mexican tradition, worth adopting immediately. Fruits blended with water and citrus are served over ice to bring the internal temperature down to peaceful levels. Salud!
Watermelon Fresca:
*3 cups ripe watermelon, seeds and rind removed, cut into cubes
*2 cups fresh water
*squeeze of fresh lime
*a sprig of fresh mountain mint for each glass
*ice
Blend the watermelon, water and lime in blender. Fill glasses with ice. Pour liquid over ice and garnish with mint. Find some shade and drink up!
