Few drinks hit as refreshingly as a cold glass of agua fresca on a warm afternoon, and this pineapple version is pure sunshine in a pitcher. It's made entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients — fresh pineapple, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a touch of sugar — so you know exactly what you're drinking without having to decode a label. That matters a lot when you're avoiding synthetic preservatives and additives that sneak into so many packaged beverages and store-bought juice drinks. Blending the pineapple with cold water and straining it through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a beautifully smooth, clean liquid that's bright and lightly sweet with a citrusy edge. The squeeze of fresh lime lifts the whole thing and keeps the flavor tasting alive rather than flat. Serve it over ice with a sprig of mint and it looks as good as it tastes — effortless enough for a weeknight but pretty enough for a backyard gathering.

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.
