Nutmeg Free Classic Pineapple Agua Fresca
Fresh pineapple, a squeeze of lime, a pinch of salt, and cold water — that's genuinely all it takes to make something this refreshing. The blender does the heavy lifting, and straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you that silky, restaurant-quality texture without any fuss. A touch of sugar rounds out the natural tartness of the pineapple, while the lime juice keeps every sip bright and lively. It's the kind of drink that tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did. Serve it over a tall glass of ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it looks as good as it tastes. Because every ingredient here is completely straightforward — no spice blends, no pre-mixed syrups, no hidden seasonings — you can sip without a second thought about what's actually in your glass.
