Carrageenan Free Classic Mango Agua Fresca

Few drinks capture the spirit of a hot afternoon quite like a tall glass of mango agua fresca — bright, fruity, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat without being heavy. This version is built entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients: ripe mango, fresh lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a little sugar to round everything out. That matters more than it might seem, because many store-bought fruit drinks and flavored waters sneak in thickeners and stabilizers — including carrageenan — that have no business being in something this simple. Here, you blend everything together and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve, which gives you a beautifully smooth, clean drink with nothing to question on the label. The lime juice adds a gentle tartness that keeps the mango from tasting flat, and that small amount of salt is the quiet secret that makes the whole thing pop. Serve it over ice with a lime wedge and it looks like something from a taqueria counter — effortless and genuinely refreshing.
