Peanut Free Maple Pineapple Mint Lemonade
This sparkling drink is the kind of thing you make once and immediately want to serve at every backyard gathering from that point forward. Fresh pineapple gets blended and strained into silky juice, muddled mint adds a cooling herbal punch, and a homemade maple simple syrup brings just enough sweetness without relying on refined sugar. Bright lemon juice ties everything together before a pour of chilled sparkling water gives it that satisfying fizz. The whole thing is built entirely from fruit, fresh herbs, and pantry staples — no store-bought mixes, no mystery additives, and nothing that raises any cross-contamination concerns. It's naturally free of nuts at every step, so you can serve it confidently to a crowd without scanning a single label. Garnished with a lemon slice and a little pineapple wedge, it also looks genuinely stunning in the glass.
