Vegan Pineapple Mint Spritz
Bright, tropical, and endlessly 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 far more special than the effort involved. Every single ingredient here is naturally plant-based, so there's nothing to swap or second-guess. The maple syrup does a beautiful job of rounding out the tartness from the lime without overpowering the fruity, herbal notes. Straining the blended mixture gives the drink a clean, almost elegant texture that makes it feel like something you'd order at a nice brunch spot. Serve it over ice with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel, and it's genuinely hard to believe it came together in under ten minutes.
