Some of the several famous and refreshing cold drinks of Guatemala are the ones made from fruits and water called frescos. Two that I enjoy in the summer time is the one made out of 'masa' (the corn dough used in the making of tortillas) and the one made of mosh (oats). My grandmother used to make these drinks in the summer evenings accompanied with slices of tamalitos de viaje. Another delicious one is the one made of jocote marañón which is the fruit of the cashews and the guayaba (guava). Guatemala also has the more common ones like horchata, tamarindo and the famous rosa de Jamaica, fresco de naranja, limonada etc. Although those mentioned are good and sweet, nothing will compare to satiate you thirst in natural clear spring water.
