Bright, herby, and endlessly refreshing, this sparkling drink is the kind of thing you'll want to keep on rotation all summer long. Fresh orange juice and lime juice bring a punchy citrus backbone, while a homemade maple mint syrup adds a subtle sweetness that feels way more interesting than plain sugar. Muddling the mint leaves directly into the warm syrup coaxes out every bit of that garden-fresh fragrance before it steeps and gets strained into a clean, jewel-toned base. When the chilled sparkling water hits the pitcher, the whole thing comes alive with bubbles and a gorgeous citrusy aroma. It's naturally free from tree nuts of any kind β no swaps needed, no label-reading required β because every single ingredient here is just clean, simple produce and pantry staples. Dress it up with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint and it looks like something from a fancy brunch menu, but it genuinely comes together in under 30 minutes of mostly hands-off time.

Combine the water and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the maple syrup fully dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Add the mint leaves to the warm syrup and press them gently with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon until fragrant and slightly bruised. Let the mint steep for 15 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing the leaves to extract as much syrup as possible. Discard the spent mint.
