Strawberry Agua Fresca is quick, refreshing, and an easy way to stay hydrated all summer long.
Strawberry Agua Fresca
Water is essential for health, and making it more enjoyable helps you drink more. Agua fresca is a simple, lightly flavored fruit drink made with fresh fruit and water. This strawberry version is bright, slightly sweet, and perfect for hot afternoons by the pool.
I love this Strawberry Agua Fresca for its easy preparation and pure strawberry flavor. Use ripe, fragrant berries for the best results. If you prefer a more tart or citrusy note, try adding a splash of lemon or lime. For a bubbly twist, replace some of the water with sparkling water just before serving.
How to Make Strawberry Agua Fresca
- Place washed, hulled strawberries and ½ cup (120 ml) water in a blender and puree until smooth.
- If you prefer a seed-free drink, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher.
- Add ice, the remaining cold water (about 2 to 3 cups / 480–720 ml depending on desired strength), and granulated sugar if using. Blend or stir until sugar dissolves and the mixture is well combined.
- Pour into glasses over ice and serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers.
