"Don't be scared. This is not about Harry Potter, it's about Costa Rica. Agua de Sapo is a typical Costa Rican drink from the Limon province on the Caribbean side of the country. Though the translation in English for Agua de Sapo means Toad Water, believe me, there are no toads on the ingredient list, only cane sugar, water, ginger, cinnamon and lime. You can find the dark cane sugar in hispanic markets, and sometimes in larger supermarkets in the hispanic aisle. Or try Amazon."

I've been known to add a squirt of Flor de Cana rum per glass to this concoction. Oh, yes!!!
