During the summer, all over Mexico people beat the heat by throwing fresh fruit into a blender and mixing it with tons of water, a little bit of sugar and a pinch of salt as a low-sugar alternative to soda.
Agua Fresca literally means “Fresh Water” because its water laced with a strong flavor of whatever fresh fruit is handy.
You can make this at home and pretend you’re the boss of a small rustic villa subjugating your sexy Mexican workers to carry out your every command, no matter how sexy it may be.
In this recipe we’re using limes, but it works well also with cantaloupe, fresh strawberries, watermelon, cucumbers or even honeydew and basil!
Gently mix in a blender
• one ripe lime
• a teaspoon of raw unwashed sugar
• a pinch of kosher salt
Strain mixture and throw into a pitcher filled with ice and garnish with slices of lime. If you want to booze this one up, we recommend using a clear flavorless spirit like vodka or something with a little more bold character like tequila.
