Name: How to Make Aguas Frescas
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 1 cup roughly chopped fruit (I recommend hulled strawberries, peeled cucumber, cantaloupe or pineapple); 1 cup water; 1/2 medium lime, juiced; 1 teaspoon pure cane sugar or agave nectar or sweetener of choice (if your fruit is perfectly ripe and sweet, you may not need any sweetener at all); Optional: 2 large mint leaves (perfect with cucumber)

These agua frescas are incredibly refreshing, unfiltered fruit juices that are perfect for summertime.

water

lime,

pure cane sugar

mint leaves (perfect with cucumber)

In your blender container, combine the fruit, water, lime juice, sweetener and optional mint leaves. Purée until smooth using the smoothie feature. Taste and, if necessary, add more lime and/or sweetener, then blend briefly again.

This sounds so good! What a fun way to hydrate. This would be a great non-alcoholic beverage for a party, too. Although I'm sure you could spike it with something and end up very happy.

That Vitamix sounds like a dream! Hot soup and a cleaning setting?! I think the future is officially here! 

Great recipe!

Okay yeah summer is definitely here. Missouri is crazy hot right now!! Those past few days in the 90s was very unexpected for me. Let's drink these together, xo!!

Those drinks are beautiful and will be perfect for summer and entertaining! Great idea!

Yummy! This aguas frescas Smoothie Recipe looks is really awesome! This recipe gives me an excuse to trying it! Thanks for share...

My boyfriend is from mexico and loves agua fresca but its usually too sweet for me when we are out but I thought I'd give it a try at home where I can control the amount of sugar. Your recipe is so simple, I just went to the fridge, grabbed some strawberries and lime, then in 2 minutes we were drinking agua fresca! I am so excited! It will be a great non-alcoholic alternative to my poolside margaritas during the summers here in Arizona...and a good option for spiked agua frescas when the occasion calls for it. Thanks!

thanks for the recipe, worked just fine using an immersion blender

Hello. Should I remove the seeds from the cucumber?

Where in Austin did you get that agua fresca?

Crazy about aqua fresca! I made this the other day and it was so delicious. Everyone loved it even the texture-sensitive husband.
Instead of lime juice, I suggest pulsing a diced whole lime and a cup or two of water first though, then straining through a sieve and using this with the rest of the recipe. The skin gives it just the right little bit of bitter.
