Few drinks capture the spirit of a warm afternoon quite like a cold, fruit-forward agua fresca. This version leans on ripe fresh pineapple for its naturally sweet, tropical base, brightened with a squeeze of lime and just a pinch of salt that makes every sip pop. The whole thing comes together in a blender and takes only minutes, which means you're never far from a tall, icy glass. Because it's built entirely from whole fruit, citrus, water, and a little sugar, there's nothing hidden to worry about — no packaged mixes, no emulsifiers, no sneaky additives that can make store-bought drinks a guessing game. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you that silky, restaurant-style texture without any bitterness from the core. Serve it over a generous pile of ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it looks as good as it tastes. It's the kind of refreshing, crowd-pleasing drink you'll want to make on repeat all summer long.

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.
