Spanish term or phrase: agua de sabor
What do you call "agua de sabor" in English? Some people call it "agua fresca" too. I can only think of Kool-Aid, but that's too specific.

The translation is for an invitation to a party.

[fruit] punch
Explanation:
I like the suggestion by anademahomar if the drink is purchased in a bottle. However, if it is a home-made concoction, whether (a) similar to Kool-Aid, or (b) made from scratch with fresh or frozen fruit, then "punch" or "fruit punch" is, I think, a good general term and to me sounds perfect for your situation where you are talking about an invitation to a party. I envision a large "punch bowl" on the table with a ladle, so go ahead, serve yourself, and enjoy!

disagree  patinba: agua de sabor is made with fresh fruit. "fruit-flavored" drinks may have no fruit at all in them.
12 hrs
  -> I know, I was going for a generic term that covered both possibilities, and since the asker mentioned Kool-Aid, no a lot of fruit there. Thank you for you comment :)
