Cheers to a refreshing and delicious Watermelon Agua Fresca drink, plus I also have a fun spiked version for you to try! This Watermelon Agua Fresca is like summer in a glass, with lime, watermelon, and it’s lightly sweetened! You’ll love it! And, it’s great that the whole family can enjoy it, or you can make it into an adult cocktail!
Life Currents Guest Posting for An Affair from the Heart with Watermelon Agua Fresca plus a spiked version!
Howdy! When Michaela from An Affair from the Heart asked me to guest post for her blog I was really excited. I love all the awesome recipes she shares (check out her {copy cat} Baskin Robbins Daiquiri Ice), and she’s a super sweet girl.
Besides that, we both share a love of Mexican food! So, I knew I had to do a Mexican influenced recipe for her.
We also share a love of cocktails. So, what could be better than a Watermelon Agua Fresca for her! Well, maybe a kid-friendly version, and a spiked version! Perfect, a little Mexican influence, a little spiked!
