Carrageenan Free Lime Sparkling Water
Bright, fizzy, and genuinely refreshing, this sparkling lime drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. It comes together in minutes using just three simple ingredients ā sparkling water, fresh lime juice, and a little zest ā so there's nothing mysterious hiding in the mix. That matters more than you might think, because many flavored sparkling waters and bottled beverages rely on additives and stabilizers that can be a concern for people avoiding certain food thickeners. Here, you're squeezing real limes and pouring chilled sparkling water, full stop. The zest is the secret weapon, adding a fragrant, slightly floral citrus note that bottled versions just can't replicate. Pouring the sparkling water slowly over the ice keeps every sip perfectly bubbly, and a fresh lime wedge on the rim makes it feel a little fancy without any extra effort.
