Xanthan Gum Free Raspberry Lemon Mocktail

Bright, tangy, and gorgeous in the glass, this sparkling drink is the kind of thing that makes a regular afternoon feel like a celebration. The homemade raspberry syrup is the real star — fresh berries, water, and maple syrup are simmered together until the liquid turns a deep, jewel-toned red before being strained into a silky pour. No store-bought syrups or flavored mixers means you know exactly what's going in the glass, which is a relief when you're navigating labels that often hide unexpected additives and thickeners. Fresh lemon juice brings a clean, zippy brightness that balances the berry sweetness perfectly, and the chilled sparkling water adds just enough fizz to make it feel festive. A sprig of mint and a lemon wheel on the rim take it from casual to genuinely impressive with almost no extra effort. It's naturally free of any gums or stabilizers because everything here is a whole, recognizable ingredient — fruit, citrus, a natural sweetener, and bubbles.
