Aguas frescas: horchata, jamaica & more
Aguas frescas are light drinks made by blending fruit, flowers, seeds or grains with water and a little sugar, a staple at paleterías and taquerías across Mexico. We pour four classics: horchata, creamy rice water with cinnamon; jamaica, tart and deep red from hibiscus flowers; sandía, watermelon, lightly sweetened; and pepino con limón, cucumber with lime and the most refreshing of the bunch.
Every agua comes medium or large, from $6.00. Want it with a kick? The michelagua is an agua fresca served michelada-style, with chamoy, Tajín and chile around the rim, from $7.00. An agua goes with almost anything here, from a bag of Tostilocos to a cup of esquites. Hosting a party? Call ahead for large aguas frescas, or ask about catering for your event.
