Chestnut Free Coconut Lime Agua Fresca
Bright, citrusy, and impossibly refreshing, this agua fresca is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting somewhere warm with a breeze coming through. Coconut water brings a subtle natural sweetness and a light tropical character, while fresh lime juice cuts right through it with a clean, zingy tartness. Maple syrup ties everything together without overpowering the drink, and a pinch of salt quietly amplifies every other flavor in the glass. The whole thing comes together in a blender and takes just minutes, making it an effortless option for hot afternoons, backyard gatherings, or anytime you want something that feels a little more special than plain water. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally free of chestnuts and relies on nothing that would raise a flag — just coconut water, citrus, and a handful of pantry staples. Garnish with thin lime rounds and a few fresh mint leaves if you want to make it look as good as it tastes.
