Bright, tropical, and impossibly refreshing, this sparkling drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Fresh pineapple gets blended with mint, lime juice, and a touch of maple syrup before being strained into a pitcher and topped with chilled sparkling water — the result is a gorgeous, golden spritz that tastes like a vacation in a glass. Because every single ingredient here is a whole fruit, herb, or pantry staple, there's absolutely nothing to second-guess when it comes to hidden additives or unwanted extras. The straining step is a small but brilliant move that gives you a silky-smooth base without any pulpy texture, so the bubbles really shine. A few lime slices and a sprig of mint on top make it look like something from a fancy brunch menu, but the whole thing comes together in minutes. It's equally at home at a backyard cookout, a dinner party, or just a quiet afternoon when you need something a little more exciting than plain water.
