This refreshing agua fresca is perfect when you want a cool beverage that’s fruity, colorful, and super easy. Inspired by the traditional Mexican and Central American drinks made with fresh fruit and water, this version blends juicy pears with a touch of honey, then stirs in bright pomegranate juice, fresh orange slices, and a hint of cinnamon. Let it chill so the flavors can mingle, then pour it over ice and add a splash of sparkling water if you like a bit of fizz. It’s the kind of crowd-friendly drink you’ll want to keep in the fridge all week.
