High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Blended Strawberry Lemonade Agua Fresca

Fresh strawberries and real lemon juice are the stars here, blended together into a vibrant, rosy drink that tastes like summer in a glass. Most store-bought lemonades and fruit drinks are loaded with high fructose corn syrup, which makes finding a genuinely clean version frustrating — this one sidesteps all of that by using maple syrup as the sweetener, giving the drink a subtle depth that plain sugar just can't match. The process is straightforward: make a quick maple simple syrup, blend it with the fruit and citrus, strain it smooth, and finish each glass with a splash of sparkling water for a little effervescence. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you that silky, restaurant-quality texture without any pulpy bits getting in the way. The tartness is totally adjustable — squeeze in a little extra lemon if you like things on the brighter, more citrusy side. Served over ice with a lemon slice on the rim, it's the kind of drink that looks impressive but comes together with almost no effort.
