Hazelnut 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 genuinely sophisticated without any complicated technique. A quick muddle and a short infusion are all it takes before chilled seltzer water transforms the whole thing into something effervescent and elegant. Flavored sparkling drinks from the store often come loaded with mystery extracts and natural flavors that can be hard to vet, so making your own from scratch with five clean ingredients is a real win. Every component here is straightforward and easy to source, so there's no guesswork about what's actually in your glass. Serve it over ice with a cucumber ribbon and a dill sprig and it looks like something from a fancy spa menu — no one needs to know how little effort it took.
