Sunshine Agua Fresca

Submitted by EdsGirlAngie

"I am a citrus freak, and this Mexican fruit drink fits the bill! It is such a refreshing thirst-quencher, with its grapefruit, lime and orange juices. I prefer mine more tart and watery; the fiance likes a bit more sugar. It's a "subjective" beverage... tweak to suit your tastes. Prep time includes chilling."

Yum, I love Agua Fresca's and this one is no exception. Wow...what a blast of citrus flavor. First you taste the orange, then the lime and lastly the grapefruit. Just the perfect amount of grapefruit to give it a zing. My first few sips reminded me of a orange popsicle. Thank you for sharing this lovely treat. Made for Think Pink 2015.
