Sesame Free Strawberry Basil Agua Fresca

This blended drink is the kind of thing you make once and then find yourself craving all summer long. Fresh strawberries, bright lime juice, and fragrant basil come together in a way that feels both refreshing and a little unexpected — sweet, herby, and just tart enough to keep you reaching for another sip. The maple syrup adds a gentle, rounded sweetness that you can dial up or down to your own taste, which makes it easy to please a whole crowd. Everything gets blended smooth and strained through a fine-mesh sieve, so the final result is a beautifully clear, ruby-red drink with no pulpy texture. It's naturally free from any sesame-containing ingredients, and since you're making it from scratch with whole, simple produce, there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your glass. Serve it over a big pile of ice with a lime slice and a sprig of basil tucked in, and it looks like something you'd order at a fancy brunch spot — without any of the effort.
