Watermelon strawberry agua fresca is a light and refreshing fruit drink, great on a hot day. It’s also the perfect party drink, and one that all of your guests will love.
I love throwing parties, but one thing I never quite know how to handle is the beverage. Is it okay to serve alcohol if some guests don’t drink? Are guests expecting alcohol? I just have no idea…so instead of worrying too much, I just make a really REALLY great drink that everyone will love no matter what. My Watermelon Strawberry Agua Fresca is sweet, light, refreshing, and ready in only 15 minutes!!!
To make this even fancier you can freeze some pureed watermelon to be the ice cubes to keep it from getting to watered down, but it’s totally not necessary if you don’t have time. Throw in some whole fresh mint leaves to really kick it up. The mint adds just a hint of something other than super sweet fruit and really makes the drink special. Trust..it might be just a few mint leaves, but it will make all the difference.
I love party prep that only takes a few minutes. That way I can quickly make it up and get to my party without missing any of it. What’s the good of a party if the host is always in the kitchen?
The colder the drink the better, but don’t make it too far in advance. I usually make it up right before my guests arrive and put in a ton of ice and frozen fruit to chill it quickly!

This sounds amazing. We love watermelon, the kids would enjoy this for sure.
This recipe sounds GREAT for a Summer cookout. I wish I would have found this before the 4th of July but I may try it for my daughter’s 8th birthday party at the end of July.
This sounds like a wonderfully refreshing summer drink and I like the idea of chilled watermelon and strawberries to keep it cool.
What a refreshing drink for the summer.
Oh so refreshing; I love aguas frescas!
I’ve always wanted to try an aqua fresca! This drink SCREAMS summer!!
It was my pleasure, dear friend! The drink was amazing!
Such a refreshing summer drink!
Oh, yummy! This reminds me of the drinks that I used to get during the summer in Mexico. I’m a huge fan of watermelon, so I’m all over this drink.
I have the same struggle with beverages and entertaining. This looks like something everyone would enjoy!
That looks so delicious. All these beverage options are making it hard for me to choose what to make next week for my Mom’s Night Out party!
