Equipment

  • Knife & cutting board
  • Large jar or pitcher
  • Blender

Ingredients
 

US Customary - Metric
  • ½ cantaloupe
  • ¼ cup cane sugar
  • 4 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Remove the seeds and rind from the cantaloupe. Cut into smaller chunks to make it easier on your blender.
  • Add the cantaloupe, 2 cups of water, and ¼ cup cane sugar to a blender. Blend on high until smooth, then transfer to a large mason jar or pitcher.
  • Add the rest of the water to the pitcher. Taste and adjust the sweetness or water to taste. If you prefer it to be sweeter, add more cane sugar. If you want it thinner, add more water.
  • Transfer the agua de melon to your fridge to chill for a few hours, or serve it immediately over ice. Happy drinking!

Notes

Use cold ingredients: Start with cold ingredients so that your agua de melon can be served chilled immediately after blending.
Strain the mixture: For an even smoother drink, strain the blended mixture to remove any pulp or seeds. This extra step is optional and based on personal preference.
Experiment with flavors: Add a splash of lime or lemon juice for a zesty contrast. Or, test out different fruit garnishes.
Starting with less water gives you more control over the consistency. After tasting, you can always add more water to thin the drink.
If the drink is too thick or too sweet for your taste, gradually add more water until you reach the desired flavor and consistency.
