Bright, tart cranberries blended with fresh-squeezed orange juice and a hit of lime make this agua fresca one of the most refreshing drinks you can pour on a warm day. Every ingredient here is exactly what it sounds like — real fruit, cold water, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt — so there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your glass. Avoiding refined seed oils in beverages is easier than it sounds once you realize how many bottled juices and flavored drinks sneak in emulsifiers or other processed additives, but this one sidesteps all of that entirely. The blender does the heavy lifting, and straining the pulp gives you a silky-smooth, jewel-toned drink that looks stunning in a pitcher. Maple syrup adds just enough sweetness while keeping things clean and unprocessed, and you can dial it up or down to suit your taste. Serve it over ice with a few orange slices floating on top and it's genuinely impressive enough for a dinner party, yet simple enough to make on a Tuesday afternoon.

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.
