Chestnut Free Classic Pineapple Agua Fresca
Bright, tropical, and impossibly refreshing, this pineapple agua fresca is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting somewhere warm with a breeze rolling in. Fresh pineapple chunks get blended with cold water, a squeeze of lime, and just a pinch of salt that pulls the whole flavor together in the best way. Straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky-smooth, pulp-free drink that looks as gorgeous as it tastes poured over ice. The lime juice keeps things lively and bright, while the sugar lets you dial sweetness exactly to your liking. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or second-guessing required. A few sprigs of fresh mint on top make it feel a little fancy without any extra effort. This is the kind of simple, crowd-pleasing recipe you'll come back to all summer long.
