Capsaicin Free Dill Cucumber Seltzer
Cool, herby, and genuinely refreshing, this sparkling cucumber drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Fresh dill and muddled cucumber come together with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of sea salt to create a flavor that feels sophisticated without requiring any bartending skills. Because it's built entirely from whole, simple ingredients, there's no need to scan labels for hidden spice blends or worry about anything that might sneak heat into your glass. The muddling step is key — it coaxes out the cucumber's natural juice and wakes up the dill so every sip is fragrant and bright. A gentle pour of chilled seltzer ties it all together with just the right amount of fizz. Serve it over ice with a few garnishes and it looks every bit as good as it tastes.
