Tequila Watermelon Aqua Fresca

Today’s clever cocktail is a light and refreshing drink perfect for upcoming Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Aqua fresca is a non-alcoholic combination of water, fruit, lime and some sort of sweetener enjoyed in almost every region of Mexico and South America. We add to this a bit of Joven Tequila for a delightfully bright and light cocktail. Below we offer you the single serving recipe as well as the batch recipe for multiple “frescas”.   Salud!
