Strawberry Lime Agua Fresca Recipe
There's nothing like this Strawberry Lime Agua Fresca to cool and refresh you on a hot summer's day! With less sugar in it than a soda, it's perfect when you want something a little more than water.
"Agua Fresca" is Spanish for "fresh water." This drink is a blend of fruit, water, and a small amount of sugar. It's basically fruit water. So skip those sugar-laden drinks from that big coffee company- THIS is the real refresher!

How to Make Strawberry Lime Agua Fresca Drinks
I love that these drinks are so easy to make. You can make them in small batches, as we are with these recipe, or multiply it and make a whole pitcher. Whatever you choose, you can whip them up really fast.
Simply add all the ingredients to your blender, and blend until smooth. For a high-powered blender such as the Ninja, you can blend for 1 minute. For regular blenders, it'll take 2 minutes. Strain through a mesh strainer, and serve as-is or over ice.
That's it, y'all! It couldn't be easier.

Helpful Tips, Tricks, and Equipment
- Fresh fruit is key. You'll get so much flavor using fresh strawberries and limes.
- Adjust the sweetener. Whether you use use sugar, agave, or something else, once you've blended your ingredients, give it a taste. You can increase the sweetness if you'd like.
- Want more lime flavor? Add a little more fresh lime juice and blend a few more seconds.
- Use cold water. If you choose to make this by the pitcher, don't add ice to the pitcher or you'll have a very diluted drink. Instead, add the ice to your glass and pour the agua fresca over it.
- Recommended equipment: Lime Juicer | Blender
