Fruity Aguas Frescas for #SundaySupper

Fruity Aguas Frescas for #SundaySupper’s Cinco de Mayo Party

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone!

One of my most coveted days of the year is finally here and I hope you all have fun plans and enjoy your day. This Sunday the Sunday Supper team is bringing you drinks and dishes to have on this Mexican holiday and I’ve decided to make Aguas Frescas, one watermelon and one cantaloupe.

For this drink duo I looked to our local Taco Bus for inspiration. When I first tried my favorite Taco Bus location, a food truck turned stationary outdoor restaurant, I was blown away by the authenticity and have loved cabbage in my tacos ever since. Along with these famous tacos, I ordered a Watermelon Agua Fresca upon the recommendation of some friends and the fine people at Taco Bus. “Aquas Frescas” translates to “fresh waters” and these drinks can typically be found for sale on the streets of Mexico.

Aguas Frescas

Fruity Aquas Frescas

Ingredients: 

1/2 cantaloupe, diced, or 1/2 watermelon, seeded and diced
1 cup water
1/2 cup club soda
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp lime juice
Lime for garnish
Splash of your favorite liquor, optional

Directions:

Puree fruit, water, sugar, lime juice and optional liquor together. Pour liquid through a sieve to prevent chucks in your drink. Add club soda and enjoy!

When it comes to refreshing drinks that remind me of being poolside, I like simple drinks that are quick to make. Why put off the fun any longer than you have to, right?

Below you’ll see what the other Supper Sunday participants are serving up. Let us know if you try any of the recipes!

This is a nice twist on my usual aguas frescas, which include cucumber, parsley and lemon, since I try to make them healthy. Yours are so much more fun and summery!

Oh yes, cabbage in tacos is fantastic! The Agua Frescas you made look fantastic! This is a drink for the entire family – sans liquor for the kids, and a little something included for the adults! Yum! I cannot wait to try these. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

I might cry. It’s bad enough I have to see that glorious drink on Taco Bus’ menu every time I go…but now you’ve put two aguas frescas in my face that I may never enjoy. Not fair. Damn allergies. They sound (and look) beautiful nonetheless. Love the photo!!

What a refreshing beverage for a hot summer day, even way past Cinco de Mayo! I will have to make this when the melons are in season and get them from the farmers market.

I love fresh fruit drinks, especially those made with melons. I have a feeling I’m going to be making and drinking a lot of these this summer!
