Watermelon-Coconut Agua Fresca Cocktail

Jump to recipe

Beverage prepared in a pitcher for summer gatherings

This Watermelon-Coconut Agua Fresca comes together in 10 minutes and is exactly what any gathering needs on a warm day. GOYA® Coconut Water paired with juicy watermelon and lime creates something light, crisp, and seriously refreshing.

Want to add a kick? Mix in tequila or vodka. Prefer to keep it simple? Skip the alcohol entirely, and you’ve got an equally delicious mocktail that everyone can enjoy. Either way, make a pitcher, fill it with ice, add some mint, and you’re ready to serve. Garnish each glass with lime, watermelon, and fresh mint for that finishing touch. It’s the perfect drink to add a tropical feel to any occasion.

Kitchen View

Step 1

<p>Place the chile-lime seasoning on a small plate. Moisten the rims of 8 lowball glasses with a lime wedge, then dip the rims into the chile-lime seasoning, tapping off any excess. Set aside.</p>

Step 2

<p>Add the watermelon, coconut water, tequila or vodka, lime juice, and agave to a blender. Blend on high until smooth, about 15 seconds.</p>

Step 3

<p>Strain the watermelon mixture into a large pitcher filled halfway with ice. Stir in the lime wheels and garnish with mint sprigs.</p>

Step 4

<p>Fill the prepared glasses halfway with ice and pour in the mixture. Garnish each glass with additional lime slices, mint sprigs, and watermelon wedges. Serve.</p> <p><strong>Make It a Mocktail</strong><br /> To turn this cocktail into a mocktail, simply replace the alcoholic ingredients with non‑alcoholic alternatives, such as alcohol‑free tequila, alcohol‑free vodka, or a splash of extra GOYA® <a href="https://www.goya.com/en/products/coconut-water-carton/">Coconut Water</a> for added flavor and balance.</p> <p><strong>Keep It Ice‑Cold</strong><br /> For a drink that stays chilled longer, thoroughly refrigerate the mixture before adding any ice. When it’s time to serve, add large ice cubes or an ice block to the pitcher to maintain the perfect chill with minimal dilution.</p>
