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!
