Notes

  • Best Fruits - Fruits like cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, watermelon, mango, and similar other tropical fruits are best for making a fresh fresca drink. These fruits blend well and make a smooth and refreshing fruit drink
  • Sweetener - Usually fruit Frescas has a minimal amount of sweetener and you could feel free to use sweeteners of your choice
  • Lemon Juice - Most Agua Fresca has a tart and tangy taste and flavor and it usually comes from lemon or lime juice, especially for fruit drinks. So I recommend not to compromise on it
