Few drinks capture the spirit of a warm afternoon quite like a tall glass of agua fresca, and this pineapple version is pure sunshine in a pitcher. Fresh pineapple chunks are blended with cold water, a squeeze of lime, and just a touch of sugar and salt to create something that tastes far more vibrant than anything you'd find in a bottle. The salt is a small but brilliant move — it rounds out the sweetness and makes the tropical flavor pop in a way that's hard to put your finger on but impossible to ignore. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you that perfectly smooth, restaurant-style texture without any fibrous bits getting in the way. A handful of fresh mint on top is optional, but it adds a cool, fragrant finish that takes the whole glass up a notch. This is the kind of refreshing drink that works just as well at a backyard cookout as it does alongside a quiet weeknight dinner.

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.
