Your a funny guy came for refreshment left wit a smile
I did it with half watermelon one pomegranate a lemon and some orange juice powder stuff and tiny bit of sugar.. Mum said it was best drink he has ever had
@@giantkiwi2.052 your mum's a he?
I tried it with two cups of Vodka and it was very memorable but I can't remember why.
willyb933 thanks for the idea, im gonna try this lol
Incase ya didn't know, it's a joke from CesCooking (Sandra Lee) where she says to pour ~2 shots of vodka and DUMPS LOKE 1/4 OF THE FUCKING BOTTLE HOLYJESUS
Sounds familiar
😅
@Ian McNally break it down Camacho
In mexico we'd drink Agua Fresca with every single meal in the summer. Melon, Strawberry, Mango, Pineapple, Guava, Guanabana. The distinctive thing I noticed was that it was never very sweet. I don't think they ever added sugar. It quenches thirst much more effectively if it's not very sweet.
+asdf It's been a while, but i only recall really needing to strain Pineapple (super awful fibers) and Tamarind (pretty rough pulp)
Whoaaaaaa! YOU CAN MAKE IT OUT OF TAMARIND?! I only know how to make chutney. My parents tell me that in Pakistan, they would take ripe Tamarinds from the trees and open them and suck them, because Pakistani ones are sour but very nice.
(Meanwhile, in Canada)
I never add sugar and it tastes pretty good tho.
+Shawn Curtis ohhh Tamarindo is my favorite. Fuck...I'm homesick now
wow, platinum straw in 2013...Chef John is ahead of his time! He's the Captain Fantastic of not discarding plastic!
Lol. That was a brilliant rhyme 😂
"couple cups of Vodka" chef John keeping it real since 2013
"2 shots of vodka.. - glug glug glug -"
where's the cayenne
Nice fam
+Ivy Whatsherface he would. lol
i didn't realise he didn't use any lol
LMAO
He edited the scene out.
Tip: cut watermelon into cubes and freeze it as replacement for ice cubes because it won't melt into water and ruin the drink and the taste won't effect it
this is a good tip. thx!
Watermelons are mostly water so I don't think that would work
Legit Name Yeah but if you use watermelon cubes it won't dilute the drink with bland water as when you use ice cubes.
Or just freeze some watermelon juice. Whole fruit might get soggy and tear apart.
Shanks LeRoux My head just exploded...
I've been enjoying this for several years now and found a very good use for the leftover pulp. I mix it with a little simple syrup (I suppose just sugar might work) and froze it in popsicle moulds. The kids love them.
Hey! That's a great idea! Thank you-
This dude's voice and the way he talks is so relaxing and cool.
Word.
+Eunice Gutierez who is he...his voice sounds familiar? does he always post videos maybe thats where I know him from.
teto19777 he does post videos on food wishes (a you tube channel). His voice is very calm and cool.
Joe Zylstra rude
right?? how creepy are we?
I'd skip the sugar myself and just add a little lime
I'm with you. I'd use honey and water but i think if you choose the right melon there would be no need
I'm with you
You need the sugar or else it won’t taste good
YES! I use lime or mint.
Or Salt
"Simple syrup.... that sounds complicated." I'm dying. Hilarious. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I LOVE doing this with watermelon, with very little sugar. It's fantastic just as it is. To fancy it up, I make a summer punch that blows everyone's socks off. It starts with the same pureed watermelon, only without the water. Fresh mint and strips of lime zest are infused in the simple syrup, and the juice from the peeled lime is added -- that mixture can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge. Then it's finished with club soda before serving. I leave it up to guests to spike it if they choose to, but I think it ruins it.
99 people without platinum straws disliked this.
111 now...
124 now.
Ikr
144, and they aren't platinum per se. Those are the steel straws places like Starbucks sold until some over caffeinated consumer stabbed the inside of their face, and they were recalled. Because "for the children", I think. In reality, the aforementioned children had likely discovered they made excellent blowgun barrels, and shortsighted parents complained... #parentsjustdontunderstand
donbasuradenuevo my penis is Platinum
That colour is SO GORGEOUS :)
This great with a bit f squeezed lime and some codiene.
Watermelon sizzurp fresca.
UHHHHHHH
LAY OFF THE CODEINE PLEASE
😓
chocolate codiene no doubt
dj screw would be proud
Drug addict
This was such a lifesaver last summer. Honeydew agua fresca was also incredible. Thanks Chef John!
After watching this video, I've made this three time already! My whole family loves this, and I cannot get enough. I even use the white parts that aren't as sweet, and add a little extra simple syrup. I also tried using just sugar instead of simple syrup, but the sweetness tasted kind of fake, whereas the syrup enhanced the sweetness of the watermelon. I'm going to try this with mint leaves tomorrow, thank you for this video :)
This stuff is great to mix with lemonade
Luke, I was aroused by the video, you just gave me wood!
i have watched all your videos mate...can i have your platinum straw now?
👍
Nope ...
Are you felching?
@@connersadreamer38 Do felchers use platinum straws?
@Krishna Daruka Gandhi wouldn't appreciate what you said.
I've only just found this video and I love this guys voice and diction. As refreshing as the watermelon!
"that's fine.. i guess"
chef john your sassiness is what i live for
Lol...
"You are the Dr. Fink of your watermelon drink!"
"You are the Melissa Etheridge of your summer beverage!"
It's so simple and delicious looking! I need this right now and am totally going to make this!
I grew up drinking all kinds of agua frescas,Strawberry,Rice (orchata),Watermelon,cantaloupe etc....this video takes me back
My daddy loved his watermelon ice-cold and sprinkled with salt!
Wonder how this would be served in a salt-rimmed glass?
Add lime and tequila. A perfect watermelon margarita.
Tastes great with a lemon tajin rimmed glass 👍
I can't eat watermelon without salt but I need mine too be room temp or a little warmer. My teeth are toooo sensitive for ice cold melons 😖
salt salt is a must have for watermelon...
@@paulnels108 agree
"couple cups of vodka" ...wow, that would liven up the office picnic.
I have your profile pic on my Wall. Weird.
Agua de sandia and agua de pepino are my fave summertime drinks 🍹😻
"You are the hefe to your aqua fresca". Lol!
*jefe ;)
Jefe sweetheart
oh wow, thanks! I ran into this just when I was thinking about the giant half watermelon remaining in my fridge...I'm getting thirsty just looking at this awesomeness
you make everything sound amazing the way you speak
I know right?
I used to work in Brownsville, TX near the border. One of the stands that set up daily sold many flavors of these....delicious.
I just made this and it was delicious. Thank you Chef John
Thank you John. I bought a bad watermelon (bad texture) from Walmart and was going to throw it away but then I remembered your recipe. This is an excellent case use for spoiled or poor quality fruits 🍉👍
I do the same.
And seven years later this is now relevant in my life. (Migrated to a hotter part of the country now)
THIS LOOKS AMAZING I NEED IT.
I just made this and its so delicious! Straining it makes such a difference, very smooth. It's chilling now, can't wait for my family to try! Oh & i did not need to add additional sugar it was sweet enough just like that;) thank you for this vid!
"REFRESHING" IS THE WORD OF THE SUMMER BEAT THE HEAT!
This is a very tasty and refreshing drink (I've made it several times)!! I added fresh lemon juice and it tasted even more refreshing! Thank you!
I try one at Church of the Collective gatherings , love it !!
Sounds like a tasty summer treat.
What If I used carbonated water in place of the plain water so I can make this sort of fizzy?
Quit playin' dumb, you know it would be absolutely awesome...
you blend the carbonated water you will lose all the bubbles inside
JamesWen91 you could blend the watermelons itself then mix it with the carbonated water
OR you could do it this way and at the end to like 2/3 juice and 1/3 carbinated water. it would make it fizzy and it would also taste like the watermelon juice :p
Or you could make it like in the video and then carbonate it with a 2 liter bottle and a little dry ice.
You have a nice soothing voice. I tried the drink and it was amazing. You got a sub from me.
This is sold at our local swapmeet as well as cantelope juice wirh chunks of original fruit. Some Mexican restaurants in town are starting to offer it now. Hope it catches on as its my favorite drink now
Definitely going to try this - thanks for the upload
Simple surp.
They drink soda and end up dead.
BUT I'VE GOT A WATERMELON INSTEAD!
💀😭 , WATERMALON !
WHAAATAMELOOON!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Is it bad if I know I get it?
They drink orange juice for their taste buds...
BUT I GOT WATERMELON AGUA FRESCA IN MY WATERMELON COFFE MUG
i found your channel a few days ago. but to be honest, at this point i just like your videos the second i find them. the quality, the puns, the directions, the recipes... everything is great!!!
That looks great!
Dam, makes me want to go out and get a watermelon to make this agua fresca.
Nobody:
Saudi blender: 1:37
😂😂😂😂
😂🤣💀
Large Fried Raviolo LOL
Allahu blendar
purest thing I have on my search history
Definitely going to have to make this this summer!
This made me so thirsty watching this being poured.
Just in time for summer! I'm so happy. 😏 Just a sprig of mint!
This is one of my favorite drinks too. Goes REALLY good with tacos al carbon!
I love you! Going to try this, thank you so much for the recipe. Looks delicious!
I've seen this done with cantaloupe. I imagine honeydew would also be excellent.
…Strawberry, mango, pineapple.
i would skip the sugar and skip the water and just drink it straight.
this is still probably 🔥 tho
oh Hell yeah!! I've been searching for a watermelon drink......yum!!
The way this guy talks makes the video so much better
I agree that watermelon juice is one of life's great pleasures but all that effort isn't necessary. I use a NutriBullet to blend the watermelon so maybe that's the difference since the watermelon doesn't become so pulpy.
Anyway, all I do is cut the watermelon in half and put them in the refrigerator over night. Then when I want a drink, I scoop the amount I want, blend it for about 5 seconds and then pour. That's it. It's pure watermelon juice. And when it's cold it's delightful. I could drink a whole gallon of the stuff.
Tiene buen acento en español c: , ha pensado en hacer tacos de canasta ? Son la exaltación del infarto al miocardio ... hechos comida.
I just made this! Oh wow! So much more than just flavored water. So delicious!!!!! 😁
i made this today!! with my own variation... after i strained the watermelon i added the symple syrup and i kept it in its own container. then i pour some sparkling water in a glass with some ice and mint and add some watermelon! its so delicious
Hi Chef when I make it I use the whole melon.. then I freeze half of it in ice cube trays. use the the cubes in the drink..
POWERFUL " WATER MELONS LIME JUICE 💜🍋●BROWN FAMILY. Daphne Cotton.
>simple serrp!
@Da Co Georgia?
Junkyard Santa that was my first guess lol
Da Co Are we still playing this game? If so, Kentucky is my guess.
made this yesterday, so refreshing and delicious!
Holy crap CJ - This is amazingly good. My children are drinking it with joy right now.
You can make some ice cubes with the watermelon mixture to keep your drink from getting watery.
Am I the only one watching this in Ramadan ?
I watch this every ramadan looool
I just love listening to you.
I love how these videos are reaching the mainstream audience~
I know what youre thinking Simple Syrup Sounds complicated!! LMAO DEAD
On a hot day you use the pool, BUT I GOT WATERMELON TO KEEP ME COOL.
I made this and added mint too. It's the quenchiest!
I just Love this guy!
Imagine this with like just a tad of rum
I also like it with cucumber and key lime juice
mmmm
+Samuel Ellis :-d
Armando Piña what is key lime juice
El Pingu Key limes are small, super tart limes popular in Florida. Great for key lime pies & other yummy stuff. I get them seasonally here in Texas.
@@merrygirl111 lol and I live in Miami I shoulda known
I Mexican food truck made watermelon water with a couple of cucumber slices in it and it taste so good. The cucumbers make the drink even more refreshing.
Thanks, Chef! Didn't think of making a simple syrup. Great tip.
When life gives you melons. Make melonade!
You can do this with almost any fruit! Including mango, papaya, cantaloupe. Also, you can avoid adding the sugar and reduce it in a saucepan. It should intensify the flavor without adding sugar, as well as thickening it.
Thank you for posting this recipe. My grandma used to make this drink all the time but kept her recipe secret.
This channel saved my favorite restaurant, thanks Chef John
Can you use other melons for this drink, like cantelope or honeydew?
I have put over ripe cantelope in the blender with orange juice and it's soooooo good. Nice frothy texture.....almost creamy. And it wasn't nearly as pulpy as you might imagine.
Yep, in fact there are versions of agua frescas with cantalope or honeydew in Mexico and Central America. They are made the exact same way, but you'd have to adjust the sugar/simple syrup to taste as those two fruits can differ widely in terms of sweetness. Enjoy!
Yes you can use whatever kind of fruit you like! Pineapple, apples, orange, lime/lemon, you can even use cucumber. I grew up drinking Aguas frescas.
Yes thats the most popular favor
you can do this with any Melon. I prefer cantaloupe
Sounds good
Yes!! I love it with cantelope!
Oh my...gotta have some!!!!
Love your videos, thanks for getting right to the point.
I made this the other day, although it tasted good bit it left one hell of a mess
Lamar E I cant even imagine
I guess we don’t have to ask if he has any “grey poupon”.
I've always been opposed to the notion of watermelon juice... but this sounds lighter, and suddenly, I'm craving it!
Watermelon agua fresca with lime juice and wodka sounds just like the perfect summer time drink to me^^
I like your voice. It's a nice voice. Nice man.
Very phone voice very patronizing
“Just practicing for my poetry slam” hah
Wow, thanks for making me hungry, and now thirsty.
OMG this looks amazing and delicious
I seem to have missed the part where you added the booze? Where is the booze?
for 1 liter add 1 to 3 shots of vodka
+deoxtor And Russian people
+TWDAVIDX That is an alchoholic drink.
A couple CUPS of vodka, lmao!
My good sir, can you spare some grey poupon?
John I so love your humour. .... you have me laughing out loud.
Love it.....
I made this but added a little bit of roses sweetened lime juice instead of sugar. It was delicious and most refreshing!
