The Aigua de València (engl. Valencia Water) cocktail is often prepared and served as a punch in pitchers; it is a popular drink in the tapas bars of the Spanish city of Valencia. This potent Spanish twist on the Mimosa is authentically made using juice from oranges grown in the Valencia region. It is perfect for a relaxed, hot afternoon—best enjoyed in the Spanish sunshine.
