Pescatarian Fresh Grape Lime Lemonade
Warm weather calls for a drink that feels a little more special than plain lemonade, and this one absolutely delivers. Muddled red or green grapes bring a naturally sweet, fruity depth that pairs beautifully with the bright punch of fresh lemon and lime juice. Maple syrup stands in for refined sugar as the sweetener, dissolving into a quick simple syrup that blends seamlessly into the whole pitcher. The result is a layered, jewel-toned drink that tastes like something you'd order at a nice brunch spot — except you made it at home in about fifteen minutes. Straining out the grape solids gives it a smooth, clean finish while keeping all that gorgeous flavor. It's endlessly refreshing over ice, and a sprig of fresh mint or a few lime slices on the rim makes it look genuinely stunning without any extra effort.
