Watermelon, Ginger & Lime Agua Frescas! This refreshing fruit drink is made simply of blended watermelon, lime juice and The Ginger People’s Organic Fiji Ginger Syrup. It’s a creative alternative to maple syrup and great for mocktails, smoothies, baked goods, or to drizzle on your morning pancakes. I love the entire product range of The Ginger People (they’re a dream come true for ginger lovers) and am excited to partner with them to bring you these Agua Frescas.

The ginger-spiced syrup is the perfect sweetener to the refreshing tang of the lime and watermelon. The flavors work together so perfectly; the watermelon is the most pronounced, followed by a subtle kick of sweetness and ginger. I love this drink since it's so easy & refreshing

A few things to note:

• If you don’t have ginger syrup, you can swap it out for maple syrup and a pinch of ground ginger. However, the ginger syrup has the perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and subtle ginger flavor, which you may not be able to achieve otherwise.

• Warm the mint briefly in your palm to release the oils before tucking the sprig into the glass. This will allow the mint to serve not only as a garnish but also contribute to flavor!

• You can use sparkling water, soda or plain water instead of coconut water.

• If you want the watermelon flavor to be more pronounced, you can add up to 1/3 cup of watermelon puree. I used freshly pureed watermelon rather than a pre-packaged variety.
