Pescatarian Mint Limeade
Bright, fizzy, and impossibly refreshing, this sparkling mint limeade is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting on a shaded porch even on the hottest day of the year. 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 trick is steeping the mint leaves in the warm honey syrup so every sip carries that cool, herbal depth without any bitterness. Sparkling water keeps things light and lively, giving it a gentle effervescence that makes it feel a little special. Since every ingredient here is naturally plant- and seafood-friendly, there's zero guesswork about what's in your glass ā just clean, whole ingredients you can feel good about. Garnish with a few extra mint sprigs and a lime wheel and it looks as good as it tastes.
