Choose *ripe* fruit. In a blender, smoothly puree measured fruit pulp and
juice (a portion at a time, if needed) with sugar and lime juice. Add
flavored fruit mixture to water, then rub through a fine strainer into a
large jar or pitcher; discard pulp. If made ahead, cover and chill up to
one week. As a decorative touch, add slices or chunks of matching fruit
just before serving. Pour the agua fresca over ice cubes into tall glasses.
