  1. Very nice! Tastes like a watermelon soda fixed with club soda. I had some watermelon that was not so great and decided to try this. I mixed the watermelon, sugar and lime juice without the water and stored it in the fridge. Then when ready to drink it, mix 1part watermelon with 1 part club soda. Also found a little extra sugar is good for a less than perfect melon.
     
  2. A simple and great recipe. Agua fresca is super refreshing and amazing for a hot summer day.
     
  3. i agree that less water should be used if you want a stronger watermelon taste. otherwise, nice and refreshing.
     
  4. This is very good. I'll probably put in a little less water, or a little more watermelon next time since I would like a little stronger watermelon flavour. This is a great alternate for lemonade! Made for ZWT4.
     
  5. Refreshing? Yes! Not sweet. Very mild watermelon flavor. Nice summer drink. Used Splenda in place of sugar which worked great. Made for ZWT4.

  1. I made this today and I used club soda instead of water- I just added it at the end, fantastic. Very refreshing on this hot humid day, and it didn't make me feel guilty after I hit the gym!
