In case you’re nervous about tackling a watermelon with your kitchen knife, check out our guide to cutting up watermelon in just one minute. Use leftover watermelon in Watermelon Feta Salad or make Watermelon “Fries.” Try this same method with other melon varieties like cantaloupe or honeydew. You might need to thin the mixture out with water after blending to get the right consistency. Watermelon Agua Fresca will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days. Stretch your leftovers out by topping with seltzer or sparkling wine.
