Blending chunks of watermelon and giving it a quick strain through cheesecloth yields a sweet liquid that is a perfect foil for tart lime juice. It's normal for the watermelon juice to separate a bit in the fridge, but that's nothing a quick stir won't fix.

Ingredients
Flesh of a 5-pound watermelon, cubed, seeds removed
1/4 cup lime juice, from 3 to 4 limes
2 tablespoons agave nectar
Procedures
In two batches, pulse the watermelon cubes in a blender just until it looks like a chunky sauce, about 10 to 12 short pulses. Transfer pulp to a colander lined with cheesecloth set over a large pot, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has dripped through.
