* Agua frescas (Spanish: water refreshments) are popular in
Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean and are made from fruits blended with sugar and water to make a nonalcoholic beverage. Due to the natural sweetness of watermelon, a minimal amount of additional sugar is required. Try substituting with Splenda or the like for a calorie cut!
