Prepare simple syrup by combining 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water in a pot.

Cook the mixture on the stove until it starts boiling and turns a light yellow, indicating it's done.

Set the simple syrup aside to cool to room temperature.

Add 4 cups of watermelon cubes into a blender (NutriBullet).

Blend the watermelon without adding any water to retain its juice.

Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the watermelon juice.

Strain the blended watermelon juice through a sifter to remove pulp, ensuring a smooth consistency.

In a mixing bowl, combine the strained watermelon juice with 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1 can of evaporated milk, and 1 can of condensed milk.

Add some of the cooled simple syrup to taste, adjusting sweetness as needed.

Optionally, add a few drops of red food coloring to achieve a reddish-orange color.

Serve the creamy watermelon agua fresca over ice.
