Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca | Fork Knife Swoon

Not that we need an excuse to indulge on Mexican food under normal circumstances – I’m pretty confident it would be financially sound to buy stock in chips and/or salsa simply based on our weekly consumption – with Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I’ve been whipping up spicy dishes even more than usual.

All that heat requires some liquid tempering, which can’t always mean margaritas, though we do love a great tequila cocktail. These verdant cucumber lime agua frescas are a delicious, healthy alternative, and about as refreshing as it gets, making for the perfect accompaniment to spicy meals or a sweltering day.

Wishing you a delicious weekend!
