aguas frescas
Fruit water drinks
Aguas frescas are Mexican beverages made by blending fruit, seeds, grains, or flowers with water and sugar.
Common varieties include horchata (rice and cinnamon), Jamaica (hibiscus), and tamarindo (tamarind), along with fresh fruit versions like watermelon or cantaloupe.
Served cold, they're staples at taquerias and street vendors: I'll have the fish tacos with an agua fresca.
