Equipment

  • Knife & cutting board
  • Blender
  • Strainer
  • Pitcher or jar

Ingredients
 

US Customary - Metric
  • ½ medium fresh pineapple, peeled and cubed
  • 33 ounces water
  • 3-4 tablespoons cane sugar or agave

Add-ins

  • Ice
  • ½ inch fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1-2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1-2 cups coconut water

Instructions
 

  • First, peel and roughly cut the pineapple into chunks.
  • Add the pineapple, water, and cane sugar to a blender. At this point, you can add optional ingredients like fresh ginger, lime, or coconut water in place of plain water.
  • Blend on high until no chunks remain and the mixture is smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetener to your preferences.
  • Strain the mixture into a bowl, jar, or pitcher to remove some of the pulp.
  • Transfer to your fridge to chill, or serve immediately over ice. Happy drinking!

Notes

Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture until it's completely smooth for the best drink experience. If necessary, stop and scrape down the sides to catch all the chunks.
Sweeten slowly: Adjust the sweetener according to the pineapple's natural sweetness. If it's sweet enough, omit the cane sugar altogether.
Strain the mixture: Use a fine-mesh strainer to remove pulp for a smoother drink.
Try to preserve as much fruit as possible while removing all the hard, spiky skin. The core is tougher than the flesh, but it's full of flavor and blends well, so you can include it in your chunks.
For a smoother agua de pina, start your blender on low to break up the big chunks, then gradually increase to high speed to fully liquefy the mixture.
If the mixture is too thick or too sweet, add more water or coconut water to dilute it. If it's not sweet enough, add more sweetener, but do it gradually.
