Have you ever heard of Agua de Valencia?
This citrusy, light cocktail originates from the city of Valencia, Spain. It literally means “Valencian Water.” It was invented in the 1950s as a simple drink that’s great to enjoy in the warm sun. It’s easy to make and also easy to drink!
So, let’s find out how to make it!
Ingredients
- 3 parts fresh-squeezed orange juice
- 2 parts chilled semi-dry cava sparkling wine
- 1 part vodka
- 1 part gin
- 1 orange
- Ice (optional)
Start off by putting all of the liquid ingredients in a pitcher or a glass. Most people opt to make a larger pitcher of this drink to serve at a party or a get-together, but you can also make an individual version.
Once you’ve added all of the liquid ingredients together, mix them together gently with a spoon or cocktail stirrer.
Cut the orange into slices that you’ll later use to garnish the glass.
After the liquid ingredients have been mixed together, pour the drink into a martini glass. If you’d like, you can add an ice cube or two to the glass to chill and dilute the drink.
Garnish the martini glass with an orange slice, and enjoy!
