Only 4 simple ingredients are needed to make this classic Mexican Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca. It is light and refreshingly delicious, the perfect drink for the warm weather.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium cucumbers
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup agave syrup or preferred sweetener (plus more per personal taste)
  • 6 cups cold water

Directions

  1. 1

    Partially peel the cucumbers (see notes). Cut them into large pieces and place them in a blender.

  2. 2

    Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender.

  3. 3

    Blend until smooth, taste and add more sweetener as needed.

  4. 4

    For little to no pulp, use a fine mesh sieve to strain the liquid into a pitcher. If using a high-powered blender, straining should not be necessary.

  5. 5

    Serve chilled or over ice.

  6. 6

    Store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days in a tightly sealed jar or bottle. Shake or mix before serving.
