Delicious aguas frescas recipes for refreshing fruit coolers

Aguas Frescas, or Mexican fruit coolers, are a delightful way to enjoy refreshing, low-sugar drinks that celebrate the vibrant flavours of summer fruits. This beverage combines your choice of juicy fruits such as watermelon, mangoes, and strawberries with water, creating a light and thirst-quenching drink that’s perfect for warm days. With just a hint of caster sugar, these coolers allow the natural sweetness of the fruit to shine through, making them a healthier alternative to sugary soft drinks.
