Description
Guanábana (soursop) agua fresca is made from the white, creamy flesh of soursop fruit blended with water, lime, and sugar — a rich, tropical agua fresca with a flavour described as pineapple-strawberry-citrus with a creamy texture. Available in Mexico and Central America at markets and juice stands when the fruit is in season. The soursop pulp is fibrous and must be strained after blending.
