Cocinando with Las Comadres

Las Comadres Kitchen/ Cocinando with Las Comadres

Join La Comadres Para Las Americas and Lola’s Cocina for a culinary experience where we’ll explore the art of crafting refreshing aguas frescas just in time for summer! 

Agua frescas are traditional Mexican drinks made with water, sugar, and fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, grains, or flowers. The ingredients are blended together to create a refreshing beverage that can be served over ice – it’s a great alternative to super sweet soft drinks and juices and also works well as the base for cocktails! 

WHAT: In this one-hour virtual workshop, you will be immersed in the vibrant world of traditional Mexican beverage-making and master the technique of blending, straining, and sweetening your homemade drinks to perfection. 

DATE: Wednesday, May 17, 2023

TIME: Check your time zone: 5pm PST/ 6pm MST/ 7pm CST/ 8pm EST & PR

Be sure to tune in at the right time! Class will last approximately 1 hour.
