What is agua fresca made of?

Agua fresca is made with fruit, lime juice, some sort of sweetener (I like agave), and water. The fruit gets blended, strained, and mixed with water. This recipe uses pineapple but there are tons of other varieties!

What is the difference between agua fresca and fruit juice?

Agua fresca is blended with water so it's a much lighter version with less sugar but it still packs a lot of flavor (more than infused water does).

How long does pineapple juice stay fresh in the refrigerator?

If you're making this drink with fresh blended pineapple. I recommend storing it for only up to 3 days. Store-bought pineapple juice will most likely stay fresh in the fridge for longer (in its original container) but be sure to always check the label.
