''Aguas frescas'' ( Spanish for "fresh (cold) waters") are a combination of either Fruits , Cereal s, or Seeds , and Sugar and Water , blended together to make a refreshing beverage. Although most common in Mexico , ''aguas frescas'' are also popular in Central America and the Caribbean . Some of the most popular flavors include '' Agua De Tamarindo '' (made with Tamarind pods), '' Agua De Jamaica '' (made with Roselle ), and '' Agua De Horchata '' (usually made with Rice and Cinnamon ). It is possible that from these aguas frescas the production of bottled fruit sodas such as Jarritos arose. In Mexico the beverage is often sold by street vendors There is some confusion in terms internationally between the drinks referred to here and bottled Soft Drinks . In Guatemala, these are referred to as ''frescos'', short for ''refresco'' which in Mexico means soft drinks.
