Tastes like Vacation! That's what I exclaimed when I tried the agua fresca piƱa (pineapple) flavor at the Exxon station close to Subway on Mills Branch. I had never tried it before but I see more in my future. It is in the rear of the store where they are making breakfast tacos. I can't believe I am this excited but I truly am! Delicioso!

#msg5955753Annie : Sounds good! Is it loaded with sugar?
I'm sure lots of protein. No sugar. No carbs. No fat. Only the highest nutritional value. Likely a nutritionally bad start to my day... but... it is delicious!
It's is a fountain drink or canned/bottled in the cooler? Never heard of it but consulted The Google. Found a ton of recipes to make it fresh.

That does sound good and refreshing. Is it just flavored water?

Oh that sounds wonderful!! Thank you. I will have to try that one day this summer.
I Love liquados/ aguas frescas, and pina is my favorite! there are some others I enjoy, but the pineapple just hits the spot, each time. We Have been known to add a shot of tequila and crushed ice to make them a Fiesta in a Glass!
