Lupin Free Sparkling Coffee Maple Agua Fresca
Cold brew coffee meets the bright, citrusy world of agua fresca in this refreshing drink that feels equal parts café-cool and backyard cookout. The base is a simple overnight cold brew — just coarsely ground coffee steeped in cold water — which gives you a smooth, low-bitterness concentrate without any fuss. Maple syrup brings a warm, rounded sweetness that plays beautifully against the sharp pop of fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt ties everything together in a way that makes each sip taste more intentional than you'd expect. When you top it off with chilled sparkling water, the whole thing comes alive with a gentle fizz that makes it feel genuinely special. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from legume-based additives or fillers, so there's no need to squint at labels or second-guess anything. It's the kind of drink you'll want to batch ahead for a crowd, since the coffee-maple base keeps well in the fridge until you're ready to pour.
