Pineapple Mint Agua Fresca

Pineapple Mint Agua Fresca

Agua Fresca is a traditional Latin American drink made of fruit, water, and a sweetener. It reminds me of the sweet and fruity drinks I had as a kid, only agua fresas are made with the real thing!

With my agua fresca, I skipped the sweetener and used mint to add a hint a sweetness instead. You can use the sweetener of your choice, to taste if yours still tastes too tart for you.

This refreshing drink can be made with any fresh fruit you have on hand. You can also strain it if you don't enjoy the pulp.

You can try this with different fruits and herbs. The pineapple mint agua fresca would also be a great base for a grown-up rum cocktail.

  1. I love all your cookbooks and blogs! Is the Instant Pot the same as a pressure cooker? Just wondering if I can isr your newest cookbook with my pressure cooker??

    • The Instant Pot has an electric pressure cooker in it. The recipes should work in any electric pressure cooker, but might need to be modified for a stove-top pressure cooker.

  17. This is like tepache except it isn’t fermented. If you enjoy this beverage then invest a few days ( almost completely hands off) making tepache. You won’t regret it.
