Chestnut Free Dill Cucumber Seltzer
This refreshing sparkling drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Crisp cucumber, bright lemon juice, and fragrant fresh dill come together in a way that feels fancy without any fuss. The muddling step is key — it coaxes out the cucumber's natural juice and wakes up the dill so every sip is layered and aromatic. A short five-minute infusion before the seltzer goes in makes a noticeable difference in depth of flavor. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's zero guesswork about what's in your glass. Strain it over ice, add a pretty garnish if you're feeling it, and you've got a drink that looks like it came from a cocktail bar.
