Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe pineapple peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled
- Juice of 1 blood orange or 1 navel orange
- 3 tablespoons sugar or to taste
- 6 cups water divided
Instructions
- Add the pineapple and 2 cups of the water to a blender. Blend until mostly smooth.
- Add the strawberries, orange juice, sugar, and 2 more cups of water. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve if desired, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
- Stir in the remaining water until the agua fresca reaches your preferred consistency. Taste and add more sugar if needed.
- Serve chilled over ice.
Notes
- Fresh fruit gives the best flavor, but frozen fruit can be substituted if needed.
- Straining creates a smoother drink, but you can leave the pulp in if you prefer.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving, as the fruit will naturally separate.
