Drinks

Our favorite Mexican drink recipes. Cool down with an agua de jamaica, watermelon agua fresca, or mangonada. Warm up with a traditional champurrado or Mexican hot chocolate. Celebrate with a classic margarita or an ice cold michelada.

Aguas Frescas

Aguas frescas are light, refreshing Mexican drinks made by blending fresh fruit or herbs with water, and sugar. Their name means “fresh waters.”
