Fresh blueberries and bright lemon juice come together in this stunning, jewel-toned drink that tastes like summer in a glass. The deep berry flavor is balanced by a squeeze of citrus and just enough maple syrup to round out the edges without tipping into overly sweet territory. Blending everything together and straining it through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, smooth liquid that looks almost too pretty to drink — almost. Every single ingredient here is naturally grain-free, so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything. It's the kind of refreshing drink that works just as well at a backyard cookout as it does on a quiet afternoon when you need something cold and a little special. Serve it over a big pile of ice with a lemon slice on the rim and it genuinely feels like something you'd order at a nice café.

Combine the blueberries, cold water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30–45 seconds.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, pressing gently on the solids with the back of a spoon until only dry pulp and skins remain. Discard the solids.
