LCBO Food & Drink Summer 2026

SPICY WATERMELON AGUA FRESCA Agua fresca is a traditional Mexican drink made from a mix of fruits or nuts and seeds that’s blended with water and a bit of sugar. It’s a versatile vessel that you can get creative with by flavouring with different ingredients. Here, we’ve incorporated Chamoy and Tajín for an added boost.
