Oh MAN is it hot today!!! In case you haven't been outside at all yet, news all over the country is pretty much that today's summer solstice is setting record high temperatures. I guess it's pretty fitting that the first official day of summer is also the first super hot day we get this year, but I am definitely not enjoying walking down the streets of NYC and being covered in sweat in a matter of seconds.
So, to cool down today, I've decided that it's time to start drinking some of my favorite summer Latin drinks! Now, since we're all at work, these aren't alcoholic—but they're definitely delicious. If you're feeling as hot (and not in a good way) as I am, then indulge in one of these 5 Latin drinks to cool down with during today's heat wave.

Agua Fresca
Ingredients: 1 large cantaloupe or half a watermelon (seeded and diced, about 3 cups), 1 1/2 cups water, 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar,2 to 3 limes (juiced)
Directions: This and other similar fruit drinks, which translate literally as "fresh water," are served all over Mexico and they're a cinch to replicate at home. The key is to strain the pulpy fruit to make a clearer liquid. Instead of melon, you could use strawberries, pineapple, or mango -- any fruit that is soft enough to puree. Puree cantaloupe and pour through a fine sieve to eliminate pulp. In a pitcher, mix strained fruit puree with water and season with sugar and lime juice, to taste.
