Sweet, tangy, refreshing, and carrying just enough heat to keep things interesting, the Fuego Citrus Agua Fresca is summer in a glass with a spicy little secret. The star of this recipe is Cítrico Fuego, our citrus-and-chile barside blend inspired by the classic combination of lime, chile, and salt found throughout Mexican food and drink traditions.
Built with bright citrus flavors, savory salt, and a lively chile kick, Cítrico Fuego transforms a simple fruit drink into something bold and unforgettable. Watermelon or pineapple juice provides natural sweetness, fresh lime adds brightness, and the spicy rim delivers a burst of flavor with every sip. The result is a drink that’s refreshing enough for a hot afternoon and exciting enough for a backyard gathering.
Lightly sparkling, beautifully colorful, and incredibly easy to make, this agua fresca proves that sometimes the best recipes come from balancing opposites: sweet and spicy, cooling and fiery, familiar and unexpected.
Drunken Duck Tip: Try both watermelon and pineapple versions. One is summer vacation, the other is summer vacation with a little extra attitude.
