Agua de Valencia is the city's cocktail: Spanish cava blended with fresh Valencian orange juice, gin and vodka, invented in 1959 at Cafe Madrid.
Agua de Valencia was invented in 1959 by Constante Gil Rodriguez, the owner of Cafe Madrid on Carrer de l'Abadia de Sant Marti. The legend says a group of Basque tourists asked for agua de Bilbao (Basque cava); Constante poured them a cava-and-orange-juice mix and named it agua de Valencia after his city. The recipe has not changed since: Valencian orange juice, cava brut, gin, vodka and sugar, served by the carafe. The drink became canonical across the city, with Cafe Madrid still the canonical pour.
