This blended drink is the kind of thing you make once and immediately want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all summer long. Fresh strawberries, bright lime juice, and fragrant basil come together in a way that feels both refreshing and a little unexpected โ herbaceous in the best possible way. The whole thing gets strained smooth, so you end up with a beautifully clear, ruby-red drink that looks stunning poured over ice with a sprig of basil on top. Maple syrup does the sweetening here, which means no refined sugar and nothing processed to second-guess. Every single ingredient is whole and straightforward, so there's zero concern about hidden additives or sneaky soy derivatives that can show up in flavored drinks and store-bought agua frescas. It's endlessly adjustable โ just taste and add a little more maple syrup if your strawberries aren't at peak sweetness. Serve it at a backyard gathering or just pour yourself a tall glass on a hot afternoon; either way, it disappears fast.

Combine the strawberries, water, maple syrup, lime juice, basil leaves, and salt 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 gently on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard the solids.
