Bright, refreshing, and bursting with real fruit flavor, this strawberry lime agua fresca is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting somewhere sunny even on an ordinary afternoon. Fresh strawberries get blended with cold water, lime juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt, then strained through a fine-mesh sieve until you're left with a silky, jewel-toned liquid that's nothing like anything from a bottle. The maple syrup adds a gentle, rounded sweetness that plays beautifully against the tartness of fresh lime — and because you're adjusting both to taste, you can dial it exactly to your liking. Grain-free drinks can be surprisingly tricky to find when you're avoiding rye, since flavored beverages and syrups sometimes sneak in unexpected ingredients, but every single component here is straightforward and easy to verify. Poured over ice with an optional lime slice, it's stunning enough to serve at a party and simple enough to make on a random Tuesday. Keep a pitcher in the fridge and it's ready whenever you need something cool and genuinely satisfying.

Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer in batches, pressing gently on the solids with the back of a spoon until only dry pulp remains. Discard the pulp.
