Agua de Valencia is one of those Spanish cocktails that’s usually served in pitchers. Gil was known for creating the perfect atmosphere for tertulia (Spanish for social gathering) – that’s when family and friends hang out and chat after a meal. And let me tell you, pitcher cocktails and tapas always get the conversation going!
The drink became popular in Valencia in the late 1970s and soon spread all over Spain. Now it’s one of Valencia’s most iconic cocktails and is loved by locals and tourists alike. The mix of fresh orange juice and cava gives it a refreshing and fruity taste that’s perfect for sipping on a sunny day.
So next time you’re in Valencia, head on over to Café de las Horas on Carrer del Comte d’Almodóvar 1 and be sure to try a pitcher of their most perfectly blended Agua de Valencia and enjoy some lively conversation with friends over a pitcher of this delicious cocktail!
