Pistachio Free Classic Pineapple Agua Fresca
Few drinks capture the spirit of a hot afternoon quite like a cold 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 before being strained into a silky, refreshing drink that's light without being watery. The lime juice keeps everything bright and balanced, while the pinch of salt quietly deepens the flavor in a way that makes you go back for another sip. Since it's made entirely from whole fruit and pantry staples, there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your glass — no store-bought blends, no mystery additives. Serve it over a tall glass of ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it looks as good as it tastes, whether you're hosting a backyard gathering or just treating yourself on a Tuesday.
