Refrescante..., titled Menudo in the Brazilian edition,[1] is a studio album by the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, released in 1986 by RCA Records.[2] It is the group's seventeenth album in Spanish and their third in Portuguese. The lineup at the time included members Ricky Martin, Robby Rosa, Charlie Massó, Raymond Acevedo, and Sérgio González.[3]

The album was produced by the trio Edgardo Díaz, Carlos Vilela, and Alejandro Monroy (the latter two being the principal composers of the work).[2] The tracklist includes songs in the ballad and pop styles.

Regarding the Brazilian edition, it marked the first time the group recorded songs written by Brazilian composers: the single "Diga Sim," for example, was written by Ed Wilson and Carlos Colla; the song "Alegria" was composed by Michael Sullivan and Paulo Massadas; and "Cara ou Coroa" is a version adapted by Carlos Costa.[4][5]

"Bésame" was released as the album's lead single.[6] Among the singles, it achieved the best commercial performance on the music chart published by Billboard, reaching number 21 on the Hot Latin Songs chart, the group's highest position on that chart with a single.[7]
