I've been utilizing our weekly box of fruits and veggies from the local farm down the road from where I work. This week I got a pineapple and cucumbers. I was thinking of that delicious Agua Fresca you get when you go to fancy resorts, and I decided I could make my own.
Recipe:
1 Cup Fresh Pineapple (cubed)
1/2 Cup Fresh cucumber (sliced)
A squeeze of fresh lime juice
1 gallon of water
Mix and let flavors mingle in refrigerator for 1 hour or more
Serve over ice
I like this low cal (no cal) recipe, but I know a lot of traditional Agua Fresca recipes call for a little honey or sugar. You can also peel and mash up some cucumber but I'm lazy, I just let it steep in the fridge, you still get tons of flavor that way. This would also be great with Vodka, but that's for another day ;)
Happy drinking!
