Carrageenan Free Garden Strawberry Lime Cooler

Bright, fruity, and refreshingly tart, this sparkling strawberry-lime drink is the kind of thing you want in your hand on a warm afternoon. The base starts with real fresh strawberries simmered down with maple syrup, water, and lime zest into a gorgeous deep-pink syrup — no shortcuts, no mystery additives. That matters more than it might seem, because many store-bought flavored drinks and syrups sneak in thickeners and stabilizers that people avoiding carrageenan have to constantly watch out for. Here, every single ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. Once the syrup is strained and combined with fresh lime juice, all it takes is a pour of chilled sparkling water over ice to bring the whole thing together. The result is lightly sweet, genuinely citrusy, and fizzy in the best way — fancy enough to serve to guests but simple enough to throw together on a weeknight. A sprig of mint and a lime wheel on the rim make it look like something from a restaurant menu.
