Xanthan Gum Free Classic Mango Agua Fresca

Ripe mango, fresh lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a touch of sugar — that's genuinely all it takes to make one of the most refreshing drinks you'll ever pour into a glass. The blender does the heavy lifting, and straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you that silky, smooth texture that makes a great agua fresca so satisfying to sip. Because this recipe is built entirely from whole, simple ingredients, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything — no stabilizers, no thickeners, nothing hidden. That matters more than you might think, since many packaged fruit drinks and even some homemade recipes sneak in additives to improve texture or shelf life. Here, the natural body of the mango and a squeeze of lime do all the work on their own. Serve it over ice with a wedge of lime on the rim and it looks as good as it tastes — the kind of drink that disappears fast at any gathering.
