Last year, we decided it was going to be the "Year of the Beverage" at the farmer's markets we visited. If we saw something we haven't tried - we would buy one and try it! Fun to get our picky eater to try new combinations.
We tried a watermelon & rosemary Agua Fresca and we were instantly in love.
One of my daughters had an End of the School Year party/sleepover at our house. We planned ahead for brunch the following morning, I asked what she wanted to drink and she gasped and said "do you remember the watermelon Agua Fresca?" Both our mouths started watering.
