Cook's note

Watermelon varies in sweetness, so taste before you chill and adjust with a little more lime or agave. Freeze some of the cubes ahead and blend them in for an extra-frosty, slushy version. Stir the pitcher before pouring, since the pulp settles.

Method

  1. Blend the watermelon, lime juice, agave, mint leaves and water on high until completely smooth, about .

  2. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing on the solids, for a smooth texture. Skip this step if you like it pulpy.

  3. Taste and add more agave or lime juice as needed. Chill for at least .

  4. Fill glasses with ice, pour in the agua fresca, and garnish with lime wheels and mint sprigs.
