I’ve made Strawberry Lime Agua Frescas, They’re very good, red all the way through and sun-sweet. This agua fresca is not too sweet and extremely refreshing – the perfect thirst quencher. Of course, if you wanted to make it a little bit more adult, I’m sure a shot of tequila wouldn’t be bad at all.

Strawberry Lime Agua Fresca

Makes about 6 cups.

  • 1 lb. fresh strawberries, hulled
  • juice from 2 limes (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1/3 c. sugar
  • 4 c. water
  • ice
  1. Add strawberries, lime juice, sugar, and water to a blender and blend until completely pureed and smooth. Pour through a strainer into a large pitcher, pressing the fruit pulp to get as much juice out if it as possible. Skim the foam off the top of the pitcher and discard. Taste the juice and add more lime or sugar to taste if necessary. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate until chilled. Stir before serving, then serve over ice, with a slice of lime and a fresh strawberry for garnish.
