Tart cranberries, bright citrus, and a touch of maple syrup come together in this refreshing agua fresca that tastes like something you'd pay way too much for at a fancy brunch spot. The deep ruby color alone is enough to make it the star of any table, and the fresh lime juice adds just enough zing to keep every sip interesting. Because the whole drink is built from whole fruit, fresh-squeezed juice, and a handful of pantry staples, there's zero need to scan labels or second-guess spice blends — what you see is exactly what you get. Blending and straining the cranberries gives the drink a silky, smooth texture without any bitterness, and the maple syrup lets you dial the sweetness up or down to your exact preference. It's endlessly versatile — equally at home at a holiday gathering, a summer cookout, or just a quiet afternoon when you want something a little more special than plain water. Serve it over ice with a few orange slices floating on top and it looks genuinely stunning with almost no effort at all.

Combine the cranberries, orange juice, maple syrup, lime juice, salt, and 1 cup of the cold water in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 45 seconds.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon until only dry pulp remains. Discard the solids.
