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 get blended with cold water, a squeeze of lime, and just a pinch of salt that quietly makes every other flavor pop. The straining step is what sets this apart from a smoothie — you end up with a beautifully clear, silky drink that's refreshing rather than heavy. A sprig of fresh mint on top takes it from casual to genuinely impressive without any extra effort. Since every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything — just real fruit, real citrus, and water. It's the kind of recipe that scales up easily for a crowd and tastes like something you'd pay too much for at a restaurant.

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.
