Build
Agua de Valencia (“Valencia water”) is a Valencian brunch punch: fresh orange juice fortified with gin and vodka, then lengthened with cava. It is brighter and stronger than a Mimosa, built for pitchers. Served cold in a flute or wine glass, it deepens the brunch occasion beyond orange-and-sparkling alone.

Bartender's Note
Fresh orange juice only. Chill all components. Scale to a pitcher; add cava last so bubbles survive.
