A traditional drink in Latin cultures, agua fresca (literally “fresh water”) can be made with any kind of juicy fruit. The basil adds a spicy, fragrant note that elevates the subtlety sweet taste of the watermelon (and provides a healthy dose of vitamin K!), and the lime juice and sweetener balance the flavors perfectly.
