My favorite no guilt treat in summer is watermelon. It’s not only delicious, but hydrating as well.
My family also craves ice cream when it’s hot outside.
What better way to have the best of both worlds then by combining them into a Watermelon Aqua Fresca Float?
This is super quick and easy and won’t detract from your lazy summer evening.
You will need:
- 4 cups cubed Seedless Watermelon
- 8 fresh Mint Leaves
- 2 cup Sparkling Water
- 2 tsp Lime Juice
- 1 tbsp Agave or Honey
- Vanilla Ice Cream
Place in watermelon in blender with lime, mint and agave or honey and run until pureed.
Add 1 cup of sparkling water to blender.
Place a several scoops of ice cream in each glass.
Pour watermelon mixture over ice cream to make float.
If it doesn’t foam up add a splash of sparkling water to create more fizz.
Enjoy!

This sounds really good. We love watermelon so I know the kids would love it. Ice cream, I don’t think they would complain. Plus I like that it actual has real fruit in it. Win Win situation.
I have never had any type of watermelon drink. This looks great and will be trying it out soon.

I just bought a whole watermelon yesterday. We haven’t cut it up yet, since we wanna chill it first, but im going to try this recipe. Looks refreshing and tasty!

This is such a fun and refreshing drink that I would love to make for a nice Summertime drink. Watermelon is in season now and I need to make your drink. Looks so pretty!
Lovely! What a great way to enjoy watermelon. Thanks for the idea and the recipe. As for the most unusual way I’ve used watermelon, I’d have to say the watermelon jam I made last summer. Surprisingly good!
Watermelon is one of my favorite fruit and I love this recipe! It sounds so refreshing and would be perfect on a hot summer day!
This sounds so refreshing, i think my family would really love it.

I love anything that involves watermelon so I’ll have to try this!
This is like a combo of a milkshake and smoothie. Sounds refreshing especially with the mint. I never thought to mix that with watermelon.
haven’t tried this out yet, can’t wait…looks yummy & easy to make…thanks for sharing the recipe
I have never used watermelon in a float and I love floats, so,I shall have to try this recipe the next time I have watermelon in the house.
Even with the ice cream ~ this sounds so refreshing (and obviously delicious! The mint and lime are wonderful additions ~ and I can’t to try making it with the AGAVE! Watermelon is such a quintessential American fruit ~ I think I’m going to be making this recipe both WITH and WITHOUT the Ice Cream. Already pinned it on two boards. This will be on the menu tomorrow ~ just got to get to the store for the watermelon and the AGAVE. The mint will come fresh from our garden. Thanks for another great recipe.
Sounds refreshing. I’ve never had a watermelon float. I just tried watermelon yogurt for the first time, though.
Sounds so refreshing! I would definitely do this minus the honey/agave. Thanks for sharing.

This sounds great! I love watermelon, so I’m in for trying this!
