# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes with zero cooking required
  • The flavor is bright and cleansing without feeling heavy or overly sweet
02 -
  • Don't skip straining—the pulp gives it an odd texture that ruins the drinking experience
  • Overripe grapes make for the sweetest agua fresca, so snag them when they're slightly soft
03 -
  • Blend the grapes with just half the water first, then add more after straining—it helps extract more flavor
  • If you want it extra frothy, blend it again briefly with some ice before serving
