Rice Free Garden Mint Citrus Cooler

Bright, citrusy, and refreshingly herbal, this sparkling drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Fresh orange juice and lime juice form the backbone of the flavor, while a homemade maple-mint simple syrup adds a subtle sweetness that feels far more interesting than plain sugar. Muddling the mint leaves into the warm syrup and letting them steep draws out every bit of that cool, fragrant oil before it ever hits your glass. The whole thing comes together in a pitcher, finishes with chilled sparkling water, and lands somewhere between a fancy mocktail and a backyard refresher. Naturally, there's nothing grain-based hiding in here — just whole, clean ingredients that happen to be completely free of rice and rice-derived additives. Garnished with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint, it looks as good as it tastes.
