Walnut Free Classic Berry Sparkling Water
Fresh berries, a squeeze of lemon, and a touch of sugar come together in a pitcher to create something genuinely refreshing — the kind of drink that looks like it took way more effort than it did. A quick muddle releases all that gorgeous berry juice, and after a short rest the color deepens into something almost jewel-like before the sparkling water even hits it. The gentle fizz lifts the fruit flavors beautifully, making every sip bright and lively without being overly sweet. This is the sort of recipe where you can relax completely about what's in your glass — mixed berries, citrus, and sparkling water are naturally free of tree nuts, so there's nothing to second-guess on the ingredient list. It's an ideal option for entertaining, since it scales up easily and looks stunning poured over ice with a sprig of fresh mint. Serve it at a summer gathering, a weekend brunch, or just a quiet afternoon when you want something a little more special than plain water.
