There is something undeniably refreshing about a cold, fruit-forward drink on a warm day, and this pineapple agua fresca delivers that in the most satisfying way. Fresh pineapple chunks are blended with cold water, a squeeze of lime, and just a touch of sugar and salt, then strained into a pitcher that practically glows with tropical color. The lime juice keeps everything bright and lively, while the salt does the quiet work of making the pineapple flavor pop even more. Grains are simply not part of this picture — every ingredient here is naturally free from rye and any related concerns, so you can pour freely without second-guessing a label. Serve it over ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it looks like something you ordered at a restaurant, not something you threw together in under ten minutes. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you might want to double the batch.

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.
