One of my favorite drinks!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I grew up drinking agua de pepino. The only thing i do different is i use a little less cucumber and add in celery. I love... the fact that you can substitute any fruit or vegetable into this basic recipe. Its always delicous no matter what combination you use.Read more

Excellent and Refreshing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Simple to make and so refreshing! Great for Mexican food, of course but wonderful with anything. The cucumber takes some of... the edge off the lime and adds that extra something. Both flavors shine through. My whole family loved this drink, served with chile rellenos. Will definitely make again.Read more
