Comments[edit]

This article is a joke. Agua loca is not a real cocktail. It is a slang term in Mexico (and other Spanish speaking countries I think) that refers to a cheap alcoholic punch made from very cheap spirits and juices or other soft drinks. Un lindo gatito 09:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it is not true at all that this drink has been prepared since ancient times. The translation of 'agua loca' would be crazy water, and i'm pretty sure it is a 20th century invention... Un lindo gatito 09:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the article should be changed to define it as a joke/slang term and it ways it can be used. Here's an external article about it. http://www.colimamagic.com/id26.html Scott 00:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm putting a "disputed" tag on this. Agua loca is certainly not an ancient recipe, nor is it a true cocktail. In northern Mexico, at least, agua loca refers to highly-alcoholic punch prepared in mass quantities (40 liters or more per batch) using soft drink and/or some kind of fruit drink as a base, to which a low-quality source of alcohol is added (rum or vodka, or regional spirits such as aguardiente, barronche or mezcal). The only defining characteristics of agua loca are its cloying sweet flavor and fruity scent. It's a favorite at university student parties. The only fact in the current article is the intoxicating potential of agua loca: the author is right, it will sneak up on you, since it's so sweet and heady.
