Tips to make Perfect Watermelon Coconut Agua Fresca

• For good taste and freshness, try making this drink just before serving.
• I usually make watermelon juice and keep it in fridge to chill. This will ease my work and will also add freshness to the drink.
• Adding ice cubes will dilute the drink, so I suggest you refrigerate the fruit or fruit juice before making agua fresca.
• Instead of sparkling water (soda), you can use chilled water too.
• You can even try adding limca or sprite or mountain dew. If using any of these sweet, aerated drinks, the sugar quotient in the drink will increase. Beware of that.
• A pinch of rock salt in watermelon coconut agua fresca is complete game changer. Do try it!

Variations in making Agua Fresca
