Pecan Free Classic Pineapple Agua Fresca
Fresh pineapple, a squeeze of lime, a pinch of salt, and cold water — that's really all it takes to make one of the most refreshing drinks you'll ever pour into a glass. The blending and straining process pulls out a silky, jewel-bright juice that tastes like a tropical vacation without any fuss. A touch of sugar rounds out the natural tartness of the pineapple, while the lime keeps everything lively and citrusy. Tree nut concerns are completely off the table here — every single ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, so you can serve this to a crowd without a second thought. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast at summer gatherings, backyard cookouts, or really any afternoon that calls for something cold and a little special. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint if you want to make it look as good as it tastes.
