Agua de Piña


We love to drink aguas frescas, especially pineapple water. It’s refreshing, sweet, and easy to make. Any drink made with fresh fruit and blended with water is known as an agua fresca or agua de fruta in Mexico.

The literal translation of agua fresca is “fresh water” and the translation of agua de fruta is “fruit water.”  This is the type of drink typically served with the midday meal, the comida.

Mexican Pineapple Water

How to Make

Choose the ripest pineapple you can find. Ripe pineapples give slightly when you press them with your thumb. They also have the faint aroma of pineapple.

Ingredients to Make Pineapple Water

Cut the pineapple into 2″ chunks. Blend with the water and sugar. You will need to blend in two batches.

Blending Pineapple Water

Strain the pineapple water mixture after blending to remove the pulp.

Straining Pineapple Water

Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled without ice.
