📜 History

Created in 1959 at Café Madrid in Valencia by bartender Constante Gil, who made it for Basque visitors who jokingly asked for "Agua de Bilbao." Gil responded with this potent but smooth blend, playing on Valencia's famous orange groves. The drink is typically served from large pitchers at celebrations and fiestas, its sweetness disguising considerable alcohol content.
