MIXED MELON, LIME & COCONUT AGUA FRESCA

By Pati’s Mexican Table 

What better way to end the season than with a big party? Pati throws a neighborhood bash and cooks up the easiest and best Mexican-themed dishes that would be a huge hit at any party. And what better accessory to a Mexican fiesta than a giant piñata? Pati also gets the chance to visit a Piñata maker in the central market of Morelia.

– 12 cups cubed, seeded watermelon (about 1 8-pound watermelon)
