Translating to “fresh water,” agua frescas are nonalcoholic fruit-based drinks that you find throughout Latin America. In Mexico, they’re most commonly served with spicy food to counterbalance the heat. The most common agua frescas are made with hibiscus and melon but we like to make this version when the California strawberries are at peak ripeness. While agua frescas are classically made with sugar, we like making it with varietal honey–especially with clover, orange blossom, or sage–for an extra layer of local flavor. Depending on the strawberries you use, you will want to use more or less honey to bring out the fruit flavor. Here we make a chile-spiced rim but you can skip it if you don’t like spice. You could also add in a few handfuls of fresh mint or even a dash or orange flower water if you want to be adventurous.
