Hazelnut Free Mint Limeade
Bright, fizzy, and impossibly refreshing, this mint limeade is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel like a vacation. Fresh lime juice and a honey-mint simple syrup come together in a way that's way more interesting than anything you'd pour from a bottle. The mint is steeped right into the warm honey syrup, pulling out every bit of herbal fragrance before it ever hits your glass. Sparkling water gives it that satisfying effervescence without any artificial flavors or mystery additives to worry about. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free of tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning required ā just squeeze, stir, and sip. It's equally at home at a backyard cookout or a lazy Sunday brunch, and the garnish of fresh mint and lime slices makes it look like something from a fancy cocktail menu.
