Agua Fresca

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Mezcal
  • 60 ml Watermelon juice
  • 15 ml Lime juice
  • 10 ml Sugar syrup
  • 1 pinch Pinch of salt
  • Garnish Watermelon wedge

Preparation

  1. Shake all ingredients with ice.
  2. Strain into a highball glass over ice. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
  3. Garnish with watermelon wedge. A wedge is a thick, lengthwise slice — usually a quarter or eighth of the fruit.

Origin Story

The Agua Fresca cocktail is inspired by the traditional Mexican beverage, which combines fresh fruit juices with water. This modern interpretation highlights the use of mezcal, merging cultural influences in contemporary cocktail crafting.
