Pineapple Peach Agua Fresca
Description
Pineapple Peach Agua Fresca starts with fresh ripe peaches and pineapple chunks blended with water, creating a vibrant fruit puree. This puree is strained through a fine mesh sieve to achieve a smooth texture free of pulp. Lime juice adds citrus tang that balances the sweetness. A homemade simple syrup, made by dissolving equal parts sugar and water, sweetens the drink gently according to taste. The result is a light, smooth beverage that highlights the tropical flavors of pineapple combined with the sweetness of peach.
Before serving, frozen peach slices are added to the pitcher to chill the drink without watering it down like regular ice cubes. Additional ice cubes can be added if desired for extra coldness. Garnishing with fresh mint leaves and lime slices offers a fresh aroma and a pop of color, making it visually appealing. This agua fresca is best served cold and can be a refreshing accompaniment in warm weather.
Ingredients
- 3 peach peeled and cubed, ripe
- 1 cup pineapple fresh, chunks
- 2 cups water
- 3 lime juiced
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup
- 1 cup peach frozen slices
- mint fresh
- lime slices for serving
Instructions
- note: to make the simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water (such as 1/4 cup each) in a saucepan over medium heat. whisk until the sugar dissolves and simmer for a minute or two, then remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- Add the peaches, pineapple and 1 cup of water to a blender and blend until completely pureed. Using a fine mesh sieve, pour puree through into a large bowl or measuring cup, using a spoon to press the last of the liquid out when you get to the end. Combine the juice with the remaining water, lime juice and simple syrup in a large pitcher. Taste and add more syrup if desired. Chill until cold. Before serving, add the frozen peach slices (to act as your ice cubes!) along with a few ice cubes if you’d like it super cold.
- Serve over crushed ice the extra lime slices and mint.
