  1. 1.

    Add the peaches, water, granulated sugar, fresh lime juice, and fine sea salt to a blender; blend on high until very smooth, 45–60 seconds.

  2. 2.

    Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing on the solids; discard the pulp.

  3. 3.

    Taste and adjust with a little more sugar or lime juice if needed. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes, or serve right away.

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour in the agua de durazno. Stir briefly and serve well chilled.

Agua de durazno is a peach-based agua fresca with a light, silky texture and a clean, refreshing sweetness. Ripe peaches are blended with cool water and a touch of sugar, then brightened with a little lime to lift the fruit’s floral notes. Served ice-cold, it is thirst-quenching without heaviness, making it ideal for hot days, casual meals, and street-food pairings.

In Mexico, aguas frescas are an everyday staple found in markets, fondas, and taquerías, where large glass vitroleros showcase rotating seasonal flavors. Peach appears when stone fruit is abundant, joining classics like jamaica (hibiscus), tamarindo, and horchata. Over time, vendors and home cooks have refined a balance of dilution, sweetness, and acidity that keeps the drink refreshing rather than cloying, with straining common for a smooth finish while still celebrating the fruit’s peak season.
