About an Agua Fresca

Agua fresca (Spanish for “cool waters”) is a light fruit drink (a much thinner consistency than a smoothie or a slushy) that’s popular throughout Mexico.

It’s generally made by blending fruit, water, sugar and lime, and then strained through a mesh strainer so the water is “infused” with the fruit flavor.
