Few drinks capture the spirit of a warm afternoon quite like a cold glass of agua fresca, and this pineapple version is pure sunshine in a pitcher. Fresh pineapple chunks are blended with cold water, a squeeze of lime, and just a touch of sugar and salt, then strained until silky smooth — the result is light, tropical, and genuinely refreshing. The lime juice keeps everything bright and balanced, while that pinch of salt quietly deepens the flavor in a way you'll notice but won't be able to explain. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you might want to make a double batch. Since it's built entirely from whole fruit and pantry staples, there's no need to scan labels or worry about hidden nut-based additives sneaking into your glass. Serve it over a tall pile of ice with a sprig of fresh mint for a presentation that looks far more impressive than the effort required.

Add the pineapple chunks, cold water, sugar, lime juice, and salt to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 45–60 seconds.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, pressing gently on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp.
