Democracy Dies in Darkness
This refreshing agua fresca, from actor and chef Danny Trejo, stars watermelon, whirred up with sugar, lime juice a pinch of cayenne pepper, and is topped with a cube of the fruit coated in spicy Tajín . In his cookbook “Trejo’s Catina” Trejo says it reminds him of drinks he would buy from street carts when he was growing up in Los Angeles.
Where to buy: Tajín is available in well-stocked supermarkets, Latin markets and online.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Ingredients
Servings: 4 (makes 2 cups)
Directions
Time Icon Total: 15 mins

Step 1
Place the 4 bite-size watermelon cubes on a plate and, if using, lightly dust them on all sides with the Tajín.
-
Step 2
In a blender, combine the remaining 2 cups of the watermelon, water, sugar, lime juice and cayenne and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a 1-quart container, gently pressing down with a flexible spatula to extract all of the juice. (The more you press down, the cloudier the drink will be. Discard the pulp, or use it to make smoothies.)

Step 3
To serve, pour the mixture into ice-filled rocks or favorite similar-size cocktail glasses and garnish each with a cube of watermelon.
