Popular in Central America and Mexico, agua fresca is a water-based drink flavoured with an assortment of fruits including pineapple, lime, watermelon or strawberries—the perfect summer refreshment! You can serve it over ice, mocktail style, or add in a drop of gin (about 1 oz per glass) to transform it into a crisp cocktail.
