Great recipe.I had a melon that was not sweet and my family won't eat it otherwise. I hated to through in the trash so I tried this. I strained it and pressed out some of the finer pulp. I tried without the lime but seemed too sweet one small key lime it made a world of difference great recipe. A keeper. My picky daughter who is not big on melon drank a large glass. She is getting some fruit in their too.

I really enjoyed this agua Alia. I love raw drinks and this one is perfection. I like the addition of the lime juice to the agua, it gives it a little edge. Nice, light, semi sweet, flavorful, refreshing drink, that I will make often. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

Great drink! I used 3 cups of melon and left out the lime juice. Tasted really authentic :-)
