Here at SATXtoday, we cover local establishments serving coffee, cocktails, mocktails, smoothies, and even soda. But what about the refreshing agua fresca?
Agua fresca 101
The agua fresca comes from Mexico and is a fruit-based, nonalcoholic beverage. All you need to make this drink is water, choice of fruit, sweetener, and a splash of lime juice (if you’re feeling citrusy).
Common flavors include watermelon, tamarind, and horchata.
