Tastes like Vacation!
 
That's what I exclaimed when I tried the agua fresca piƱa (pineapple) flavor at the Exxon station close to Subway on Mills Branch. I had never tried it before but I see more in my future.
 
It is in the rear of the store where they are making breakfast tacos.
 
I can't believe I am this excited but I truly am! Delicioso!

Wiseowl :
I'm sure lots of protein. No sugar. No carbs. No fat. Only the highest nutritional value. Likely a nutritionally bad start to my day... but... it is delicious!

It's is a fountain drink or canned/bottled in the cooler? Never heard of it but consulted The Google. Found a ton of recipes to make it fresh.

That does sound good and refreshing. Is it just flavored water?

This is a recipe from ai but looks to be quite accurate. It was not in the area with the other beverages but sold by the ladies making breakfast tacos.
 
Pineapple agua fresca balances tropical sweetness with a tart citrus finish.
Recipe OverviewPrep Time: 10 minutesCook Time: 0 minutesTotal Time: 10 minutes (plus chilling)
Yield: 4 servingsIngredients
4 cups fresh pineapple, diced
4 cups cold water, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons sugar or honey (optional)
Ice cubes for serving
Step-by-Step Instructions
Blend the fruit: Add diced pineapple, lime juice, and 2 cups of water to a blender.
Puree until smooth: Blend on high speed for 60 seconds until completely liquified.
Strain the mixture: Pour the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher.Press out juice: Use a spoon to press the pulp to extract all liquid.
Discard the pulp: Throw away the remaining fibrous pineapple pulp left in the strainer.
Add remaining water: Stir the remaining 2 cups of cold water into the pitcher.
Sweeten to taste: Taste the drink and stir in your sweetener if needed.
Chill and serve: Refrigerate for 1 hour, stir well, and serve over fresh ice.
Pro TipsCheck fruit ripeness: If your pineapple is very ripe, skip the added sugar entirely.
Add a twist: Blend in 4-5 fresh mint leaves or a slice of peeled ginger for extra depth.

I Love liquados/ aguas frescas, and pina is my favorite! there are some others I enjoy, but the pineapple just hits the spot, each time. We Have been known to add a shot of tequila and crushed ice to make them a Fiesta in a Glass! Emoticon
