Recipe: Spiked Watermelon Agua Fresca

julieskitchen_watermelon agua fresca
Watermelon is one of the most quintessentially summer foods, so I turned it into a drink–a boozy one at that. I added some smokey mezcal and spicy jalapenos for a perfect counterbalance to the sweetness of the melon.  Hope you’ll try it for your next big bash!
