Paleo Lime Sparkling Water
Crisp, bright, and endlessly refreshing, this sparkling lime drink is the kind of thing you'll want in your hand on a warm afternoon. It comes together with just three real ingredients ā fresh lime juice, lime zest, and chilled sparkling water ā so there's nothing processed or questionable hiding in the mix. Using both the juice and the zest is the move here, because the zest brings an aromatic, slightly floral depth that bottled lime drinks just can't replicate. Pouring the sparkling water slowly and stirring gently keeps every sip perfectly fizzy right down to the last drop. It's a genuinely satisfying alternative to sodas and flavored drinks that often sneak in sweeteners or additives you'd rather avoid. Serve it over ice with a lime wedge and it looks as good as it tastes.
