Aguas frescas are traditional Mexican beverages made by blending water with fruits, herbs, or grains. They are typically sweetened with sugar and served chilled, making them a refreshing choice, especially in warm weather. Common flavors include horchata (made from rice), jamaica (hibiscus), and various fruit combinations like mango or pineapple. These drinks are popular at street vendors, restaurants, and family gatherings throughout Mexico and other Latin American countries. Aguas frescas are not only enjoyed for their taste but also for their natural ingredients, providing a healthier alternative to sugary sodas and juices.
