Honey 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 a handful of real ingredients ā fresh lime juice, a little zest, and chilled sparkling water ā so there's nothing processed or mysterious going on in the glass. For anyone avoiding sweeteners like honey, this is a welcome find, because so many store-bought sparkling drinks and flavored waters sneak in honey or other sweeteners you didn't ask for. Here, the natural tartness of fresh lime does all the heavy lifting, and the zest adds a fragrant citrus punch that makes it taste far more special than the ingredient list suggests. Pouring the sparkling water slowly over the lime mixture keeps every sip perfectly bubbly, so you get that satisfying fizz right to the last drop. Serve it over ice with a lime wedge and it looks as good as it tastes.
