An agua fresca is nothing more than fruit blended with sugar, water, and a squeeze of citrus; this refreshing drink is served throughout Mexico, at both street carts and restaurants alongside Horchatas. We decided to replace the water with rum, creating a cocktail that throws you into vacation mode with just one sip.

This recipe was featured as part of our Cinco de Mayo cocktail menu.

Instructions

1Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth (you’ll have to do this in batches). Transfer the agua fresca to a large pitcher or punch bowl.
2Chill until ready to drink. Serve over ice.

This comes together in about the time it takes to order takeout, and is miles more nuanced than your average Chinese restaurant's sweet and sour sauce. Ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, and rice or cider vinegar are boiled together with water (though pineapple juice makes for a tasty tropical twist), and thickened to the perfect dipping consistency with a little cornstarch slurry. Serve this with egg rolls, wontons, rangoons, and whatever other fried foods you want to perk up. Feel free to add some heat to the sauce with minced ginger, garlic, or chiles (or all three).
