I recently had a conversation with a friend about the best places to find Agua Frescas in Atlanta. The location that she recommended is currently closed, but our discussion got me wanting them. So I decided to whip up a pitcher to enjoy this weekend using some fresh fruit I had around the house. The great thing about Agua Fresca is that you can use any fruit you have at home to make this refreshing summertime drink. It’s a quick and easy drink to make that is great for all ages to enjoy!
