Perfect Cookbook For Aguas and Paletas!
What a gorgeous book. The photography captured my attention but it was the recipes that kept me flipping the pages. I love the collection of aguas and paletas the author presented. Everything is made with easy to find ingredients yet exciting combinations of flavors. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for refreshing Mexican recipes to cool down with on a hot day. I can't wait to try every recipe myself. The handful I have tried already were easy to follow and the results were stellar! Love this book. <3

Gorgeous book — but watch the sugar!
This cookbook is absolutely stunning! The photos are mouth-watering works of art all on their own, and the recipes are exciting and seem simple enough. I’ve so far made three recipes (horchata, cantaloupe cooler, and burnt milk pops) and all are delicious — with the modification of halving the sugar as indicated. I have as much of a sweet tooth as the next person, but I’ve found that all three recipes I’ve tried so far have the directed amount of sugar overwhelm the natural flavors that make aguas frescas and paletas so delicious. I’d rather let the natural sweetness of the fruits, milk, etc., come through, so I think I’ll use half the sugar in each recipe, taste, and adjust from there. Totally worth buying this book! But just wanted to flag this as a warning for people who don’t love super sweet treats. It’s easy enough to adjust sugar content. :)
