AGUA FRESCA TRAIL · STOP Nº 10 · LONG BEACH WATERFRONT
The Best Aguas Frescas in the L.A. Area
Lichi
LYCHEE · WATERMELON · ICE-COLD
★ THIS STOP POURS TWO ★
Two full pours. Same price. Choose the jar calling your name before you add it to your bag.
Lychee is the fruit people try once and then talk about forever. Picture an extra-juicy grape with the sweetness of a ripe pear and a soft floral finish. That's close. Pour it over ice on the Long Beach waterfront, salt in the air, harbor cranes standing around like nosy giraffes, and suddenly subtle feels like the bold choice. The second jar adds cold watermelon. Lychee stays delicate, watermelon brings the big pink splash, and the whole plastic cup disappears faster than anything this pretty has a right to. Stop 10 does not limp across the finish line. It arrives with two full jars and an ocean breeze.
A LITTLE HISTORY, ON THE HOUSE
Long Beach keeps its Latin heart on display. MOLAA, the Museum of Latin American Art, opened here in 1996 and remains the country's only museum dedicated to modern and contemporary Latin American and Latino art. Its collection holds more than 1,300 works in a building designed by Mexican architect Manuel Rosen. The trail ends where culture gets the whole wall.

LA CLÁSICA · THE CLASSIC POUR
Lichi
Plain Lychee
Pale, elegant, and quietly juicy. A grape that went to finishing school and came home fancy. Don't let the manners fool you. It disappears fast.
