Few drinks capture the feeling of a hot afternoon quite like a tall glass of agua fresca, and this pineapple version is pure sunshine in a pitcher. Fresh pineapple chunks get blended with cold water, a squeeze of lime, and just a touch of sugar and salt, then strained into a silky, refreshing drink that's nothing like the syrupy stuff from a can. The lime juice brightens everything up while the pinch of salt makes the tropical flavor pop in a way that's genuinely hard to put down. Since it's built entirely from whole fruit and pantry staples, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything — it's naturally free of eggs and most common allergens without any substitutions required. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives it that clean, smooth texture that makes agua fresca so satisfying to sip. Serve it over ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it looks as good as it tastes, whether you're pouring it for a backyard cookout or just a quiet weeknight dinner.

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.
