- 1 lime juiced
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon Agave
For Serving

Instructions
- Add the watermelon, tomato, lime juice, agave, and cold water to a blender and blend until completely smooth. Taste the agua fresca and adjust sweetness, if needed.
- If preferred, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, using the back of a spoon to gently press the liquid through. Discard the solids.

Notes
- Use Cold Ingredients: For the most refreshing drink, start with chilled watermelon, tomatoes, and water.
- Taste Before Adding More Sweetener: Overall sweetness depends on how sweet your fruit is. Start with the amount listed in the recipe, then adjust to taste as needed.
- Strain for the Smoothest Texture: Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve for a silky, refreshing drink without any pulp.
- Make Ahead: Store the agua fresca in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The mixture may separate slightly, so simply stir or shake well before serving.
