Agua fresca means "fresh water" in Spanish: blended fruit, water and a touch of sugar, poured over ice. Watermelon is the classic, and a sweet melon may need no sugar at all.
Freshly squeezed and blended juices are not pasteurized. The FDA advises children, pregnant people, older adults and anyone with a weakened immune system to drink pasteurized juice instead. Wash produce under running water before cutting, keep fresh juice cold and drink it within a day.
