Fructose Free Classic Pineapple Agua Fresca

Bright, tropical, and impossibly refreshing, this agua fresca is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel like a vacation. Fresh pineapple is blended with cold water, a touch of lime juice, and just a small amount of granulated sugar before being strained into a clean, pulp-free pitcher — so you're in full control of exactly what goes in. That matters a lot when managing fructose sensitivity, since store-bought fruit drinks and juice blends are often loaded with high-fructose corn syrup or concentrated fruit juice that can cause real discomfort. Here, the pineapple is strained through a fine-mesh sieve, which removes the fibrous pulp and helps reduce the overall fructose load while keeping that gorgeous tropical flavor front and center. The small amount of added sugar and a squeeze of fresh lime keep things balanced without tipping into overly sweet territory. Serve it over ice with a sprig of mint and it looks just as good as it tastes — the kind of thing you'd happily set out for guests without anyone suspecting it was made with a specific dietary need in mind.
