Ingredients You’ll Need
Fresh & Fruity Essentials

- Fresh lime juice – Brightens the whole drink with a citrusy lift.
Optional Additions
- Mint leaves – For a cool herbal pop.

How to Make Pineapple Peach Agua Fresca
Step 1 – Blend the Fruit
Toss your peeled peaches, fresh pineapple, and 1 cup of water into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. You want a vibrant, golden-orange mixture that smells like a smoothie shop on vacation.
Step 2 – Strain and Sweeten
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher, pressing the pulp with a spoon to get every drop. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of water, fresh lime juice, and your simple syrup. Taste it—this is your moment to tweak the sweetness!
Step 3 – Chill and Serve
Pop the pitcher in the fridge until it’s nice and cold. When ready to serve, add frozen peach slices (they work like fruity ice cubes!) and pour over crushed ice. Garnish with fresh mint and lime slices. Sip and swoon.
Tips for the Best Flavor
- Use ripe fruit – Seriously, it makes a difference. Soft peaches and golden pineapples mean more natural sweetness and less need for extra sugar.
- Frozen peach slices – These are genius as ice cubes. They keep things cool without watering anything down.
- Add fizz – A splash of sparkling water gives your agua fresca a fun, soda-like sparkle. Coconut water works too for a more hydrating twist.
You can even pair this with our refreshing peach mango salsa to serve with summer beverages or sip it alongside a chilled fruity pineapple soup perfect for warm-weather meals.
