Agua, azucarillos y aguardiente.
I can only find sugar foam as a translation which doesn't sound too appealing. I know that it is a sweet food but is there an English equivalent?

sugar cubes /sugar lumps
I am not quite sure, but these are the ones that come to my mind.
Azucarillos may be the little sugar cubes for coffee or tea.
Also is a kind of sweet made of syrup and egg white. In this case (your term) it seems to be this second meaning, as it's usual to have these azucarillos along with other two..

yes patricia, you are right. That is actually something I didn't think of. These type of names (books, films, ...)shouldn't be translated.

patricia scott
: Although both meanings apply, azucarillos in plural wouldn't refer to this.
