This refreshing drink recipe makes the most of peak-of-the-season strawberries. Look for the best you can find. You can skip the rose water, but its delicate flavor goes really well with berries and will add something special.

  • This is pretty tasty! I added rum to half of it, and it went well with the flavors and was not overpowering. I do wish the flavor was a little punchier, but it makes sense for an agua fresca
