Ingredients
- 1 large cantaloupe or half a watermelon, seeded and diced (about 3 cups)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 to 3 limes, juiced
Directions
This and other similar fruit drinks, which translate literally as "fresh water," are served all over Mexico and they're a cinch to replicate at home. The key is to strain the pulpy fruit to make a clearer liquid. Instead of melon, you could use strawberries, pineapple, or mango -- any fruit that is soft enough to puree.
Puree cantaloupe and pour through a fine sieve to eliminate pulp. In a pitcher, mix strained fruit puree with water and season with sugar and lime juice, to taste.

Have made the watermelon version twice this week already - kids LOVE IT and it's so cool and refreshing!!! We have tossed out watermelon in the past because we just couldn't eat it all before it went bad... NO MORE!! :o
