Why You’ll Love This Cucumber Agua Fresca Recipe
- Cucumber agua fresca is light, smooth, and refreshing. It’s satisfying when it’s warm out or you just finished a hard workout and you need something to cool you down quickly.
- With the sugar, I wouldn’t necessarily call it a healthy drink but it’s certainly better than many drinks out there. Most importantly it’s hydrating but not boring. It has a balanced flavor.
Ingredients
- Cucumbers – peeled and diced
- Limes
- Water
- Sugar
- Salt – a pinch brings out the flavor

How to make Cucumber Agua Fresca
Add the cucumber, 1½ cups of the water, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and sugar to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
Pour the cucumber mixture into a pitcher with the remaining 3 cups of cold water.
Serve over ice and enjoy immediately.
Top Tips
The skin is bitter and high in fiber so you’ll want to remove as much of it as possible.
Blend it really well until it’s nice and smooth. If you don’t have a high-powered blender like Vitamix or Blendtec, you may need to strain it.
Storage
Store your cucumber agua fresca in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

FAQ
Absolutely. This recipe is great for making in advance. Just store it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Before you pour, give it a quick stir.
Some will, some won’t. I call it a light, refreshing sipper, so it’s more of a grown-up drink. I certainly wouldn’t make it the main drink at a kid’s birthday party.
Lime juice makes it taste more interesting than simply cucumber, sweetener, and water. It brightens and elevates your drink.
