Gluten Free Classic Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca

This refreshing drink is everything you want on a hot day — cool, lightly sweet, and bright with citrus. Fresh English cucumbers get blended smooth and strained into a silky base, then balanced with real lime juice, a touch of salt, and a homemade simple syrup that lets you dial in the sweetness exactly how you like it. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no label-reading stress or ingredient swaps required — just clean, simple produce and pantry staples doing their thing. The straining step is key, giving you a beautifully clear, smooth drink rather than a thick smoothie. A pinch of salt might seem unexpected, but it rounds out the flavors and makes the cucumber and lime pop in the best way. Poured over ice with a few mint sprigs and a lime wheel, it looks like something you'd pay too much for at a fancy brunch spot — except you made it at home in about twenty minutes.
