Agua de Pepino ( cucumber water) is a refreshing drink that is popular in Mexico. It is one of the large variety of the popular Aguas Frescas ( fresh or cool waters). Agua frescas are refreshing drinks made from fresh sweet and sour fruits or grains, (like Horchata made from rice,sugar and cinnamon-recipe coming soon.), water is mixed with the fruits as well as a sweetener and sometimes lemon or lime juice. These drinks are very popular in our homes and also sold in restaurants,markets and small street vendors. They are a great alternative to the “sugar water” or American soft drinks , are more nutritious and in my opinion taste so much better than colas -not even a comparison. The variety is quite big with flavors and favorites for everyone. Mine were Cucumber, Jamaica (hibiscus),tamarind, strawberry and watermelon.

This looks fabulous! I will have to give it a try…although it is about 50 degrees out and raining atm, so maybe I will give a try in a few days!

Hi RFM,
Thanks, yes do give it a try and please let me know how you like it. Maybe leave out the ice cubes on cold days and you could still enjoy it 🙂
I'm going to check your blog to see if you responded to my question about the coconut oil:)

I loved the fruit waters in Mexico, especially with watermelon. Never had cucumber water, but have to try it.
The watermelon one is also one of my favorites. Enjoy and I hope you give this a try soon.
Hi
This sounds lovely. How long would it keep in the fridge once made? I would like to take some to work if is able to keep!
Thanks
