Nitrate & Nitrite Free Lime Sparkling Water
Crisp, bright, and endlessly refreshing, this sparkling lime drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Fresh lime juice and a whisper of zest give it a punchy citrus flavor that bottled sodas and flavored waters just can't match. Because it's built from scratch with nothing but sparkling water, real lime, and ice, you never have to squint at a label wondering what's actually in your glass. Pouring the sparkling water slowly over the lime mixture keeps every sip beautifully fizzy, which makes the whole experience feel a little more special than it has any right to for something this simple. Garnish with a lime wedge and it looks like something you'd pay way too much for at a trendy café. It's a two-minute recipe that genuinely delivers.
