Peanut Free Classic Pineapple Agua Fresca
Few drinks capture the spirit of a warm afternoon quite like a cold glass of agua fresca. This version leans on fresh pineapple, a squeeze of lime, and just a pinch of salt to create something that tastes genuinely vibrant — not like juice from a carton. The salt is a small but brilliant move that sharpens all the tropical sweetness without making the drink taste savory. Blending and straining the pineapple gives you a silky, smooth texture that feels refreshing rather than heavy. It comes together with just a handful of whole, simple ingredients, so there's no label-reading stress or worry about hidden additives. Serve it over ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it looks as good as it tastes — the kind of drink that disappears fast at any gathering.
