AGUA FRESCA

Agua Fresca: Pure Refreshment in a Glass

Looking for a cocktail that’s light, juicy and packed with natural flavour? Say hello to the Agua Fresca. Inspired by the Mexican classic, this drink is all about hydration with a twist — combining real fruit, cooling herbs, and sparkling mixer to create the perfect summer refresher. It’s bright, breezy and effortlessly delicious.

What Is Agua Fresca?

Traditionally, agua fresca is a chilled blend of fresh fruit, lime juice, water, and a little sweetness — but this version is grown up and cocktail-ready. By adding your spirit of choice (vodka, white rum or even tequila work great), and topping with a perfectly matched mixer, you’ve got a drink that’s fruity, fragrant and oh-so-fun.

Perfect for Sunshine Sipping

Agua Fresca is ideal for garden parties, poolside lounging or BBQs with friends. It’s the kind of drink that makes you feel good — not too heavy, not too sweet, just smooth and super refreshing. And the best part? You can batch it easily, making it a top choice for entertaining.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Cucumber & Watermelon is the obvious hero here — it complements fresh fruit flavours beautifully and adds a subtle coolness. Feeling adventurous? Try Pomegranate & Basil for a deeper, more herbaceous twist.

Top Tips

• Use ripe fruit: Melon, mango, strawberries or cucumber all shine in this drink.
• Balance the lime: Too much can overpower — just a splash keeps things zippy.
• Keep it cold: Serve over crushed ice and garnish with mint or basil for maximum refreshment.

Why We Love It

The Agua Fresca is easy to love. It’s clean, colourful and endlessly customisable. Whether you keep it non-alcoholic or add a cheeky shot of spirit, it’s a crowd-pleaser that suits almost every palate. Light enough to enjoy all day and flavourful enough to make you feel like you’re on holiday — it’s a win-win every time.

Whip up a jug, kick back, and enjoy the fresh side of cocktail hour.
