With Cinco de Mayo and summertime coming up soon, I have the perfect refreshing non-alcoholic drink for you to enjoy: melon orange blossom agua frescas. These drinks are fruity and just scream summertime get-togethers!

The best ever melon aqua fresca with orange blossom water this image
This post for melon orange blossom agua frescas is sponsored by a company whose products I absolutely love–Nielsen-Massey. I was compensated by Nielsen-Massey for my time in developing this recipe and post. As always, all opinions are my own, thank you for supporting the brands and products that make the SweetPhi blog possible.

The best ingredients for melon orange blossom agua frescasCan you believe that Cinco de Mayo is next week already? I cannot! I feel like just yesterday it was cold (the norm for here in Milwaukee, WI), but I am certainly ready for May and warmer weather. And, any excuse to drink and eat Mexican food, and you can count me in. This year, however, is a little different than all the past Cinco de Mayos for me because I am pregnant.

The best recipe for melon orange blossom agua frescasThat means no alcohol for me, which is A-OK, because as other people drink their margaritas or cocktails, I’ll be sipping all the agua frescas! Specifically, the best and most refreshing melon orange blossom agua frescas.

The most delicious and refreshing drink recipeAgua frescas (translates to “cool waters”) are a non-alcoholic drink made from a blended combination of fruit, flowers, sugar and water. As I was thinking of making an aqua fresca recipe to share with you, I couldn’t help but think of all the amazing products Nielsen-Massey has (you already know what a huge fan of Nielsen-Massey I am from these 5 ingredient chicken skewers recipe or these vanilla bean chocolate chunk cookies), and thought how perfectly their orange blossom water would go in combination with melons to make an aqua fresca.

Orange blossom water is produced by water distillation of the blossoms of the bitter orange tree and is a refreshingly aromatic water. It adds the perfect compliment of flavor and aroma to these agua frescas.

The best tasting watermelon and cantalope aqua fresca recipe with orange blossom waterTo make melon orange blossom agua frescas all you do is add melon (I used watermelon and cantaloupe), orange blossom water, agave (you could also use honey) and water to a blender, blend away, and serve over ice. The end result is a beautifully colored, refreshing and delicious drink that is perfect for summertime!

Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes minutes
Servings: 8 glasses

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cantaloupe melon cubed
  • 2 cups seedless watermelon cubed
  • 1 tablespoon Nielsen-Massey orange blossom water
  • 3 tablespoons agave
  • 3 cups water

Instructions

  • Cut melon into large cubes.
  • Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until everything is well combined/smooth and blended (about 1 minute).
  • Pour over ice and serve, or store in the refrigerator to keep it cool.

Notes

1 cantaloupe yields about 6 cups cubed melon, so you're using about 1/3 of a melon for this recipe. You could certainly make more aqua frescas with the leftover fruit.

      Hi Nancy,
      Thank you for your question! They sell Nielsen Massey at the Spice House downtown, at Sur La Table, at Williams Sonoma, or I believe I’ve seen them at Sendiks – or you could order them online (which is what I do 🙂 )

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
