Place the watermelon, lime juice, sugar and 1 cup of the water in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Strain the watermelon mixture into a pitcher and discard solids. Add the remaining water to the pitcher and stir to combine. Chill until ready to serve.
For garnishes: if desired, dip the rims of the glasses into a bowl of water then place the glasses, rim side down, onto a plate of coarse sugar and rotate until rims are coated with sugar. Pour agua fresca into the sugar rimmed glasses and top with mint sprigs, lime slices and/or watermelon wedges.

Look for a super ripe watermelon for the best flavor.
To strain the pulp and fiber out of your drink, you can use a strainer or a wire mesh colander. Simply place the strainer over your pitcher and carefully pour the liquid through it.
If your watermelon isn't as sweet as you'd like, you can add more sugar. Add 1 tablespoon at a time and stir, until you reach the desired sweetness level.
