Strawberry Auga Fresca is a refreshing summer drink recipe! It’s sweet with fresh berries – a delicious easy drink you’re going to want all spring and summer long.

An Agua Fresca is a refreshing non-alcoholic drink made with water and blended fruit and sugar. It’s perfect for in-season fruit, like in summer when strawberries are fresh. This strawberry version is made with berries and sugar and water – it’s perfect for a party or just to have in the fridge for hot summer days.
How to make Agua de Fresa
- It’s best to use fresh strawberries (or any in-season fruit, like watermelon or pineapple). In a pinch, thawed frozen fruit can be used.
- Add the berries with white sugar to a blender and blend until smooth. If you blend it long enough you shouldn’t need to strain it. You can also use a food processor if you want.
- It’s important to chill the fruit mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- When ready to serve, add fruit puree to a pitcher and pour in fresh water. Stir and garnish with fresh mint sprigs or slices of lime.
- I often add a bit of fresh lime juice for freshness as well.
- Feel free to add sweetener if your fruit isn’t as sweet as you’d like it.

Dorothy’s Tip
While an Agua Fresca is typically non-alcoholic, and it’s written that way because we post mocktails, you can add vodka, rum, or tequila to make it a cocktail.
We also use strawberry puree in this delicious strawberry lemonade – the perfect easy drink recipe with tons of flavor all season long!
