Agua de Valencia
Also known as: Agua de València
Valencian cocktail of fresh local orange juice, cava, gin and vodka, mixed ahead and served very cold.
About Agua de Valencia
Agua de Valencia is the signature cocktail of Valencia, created in the city in the twentieth century. This profile fixes the documented four-part modern classic: fresh Valencian orange juice, cava, vodka and gin.
Fresh orange gives the drink bright citrus sweetness and acidity, while cava adds dry fruit and lively effervescence. Vodka raises the strength cleanly and gin contributes a subtle botanical edge beneath the orange.
The cocktail is a cloudy golden-orange with a fine sparkling head. Served thoroughly chilled, it is light and juicy in appearance but carries a fuller alcoholic warmth than its refreshing citrus character initially suggests.
