Few drinks are as refreshing as a tall glass of mango agua fresca on a warm day — it's bright, lightly sweet, and tastes like pure sunshine in a cup. Ripe mango gets blended with cold water, a squeeze of fresh lime, and just a pinch of salt that makes every sip pop. Straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives it that smooth, silky texture you'd expect from a street cart or taqueria, without any fuss. Many store-bought fruit drinks sneak in coconut water or coconut-derived additives, so blending your own from scratch means you know exactly what's in the glass. The balance of tangy lime and naturally sweet mango is easy to tweak to your taste before you pour it over ice. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you might want to make a double batch.

Combine the mango cubes, cold water, lime juice, sugar, and salt in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 45–60 seconds.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher and pour the blended mixture through it, pressing gently with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids left in the strainer.
