Nightshade Free Sparkling Coffee Maple Agua Fresca

This drink is a genuinely unexpected pleasure — cold brew coffee meets maple sweetness and bright lime in a fizzy, refreshing glass that feels equally at home at brunch or on a hot afternoon. The base comes together with a simple overnight cold brew, which keeps things smooth and low-acid, and the maple syrup dissolves right in for a rounded, caramel-like sweetness that plays beautifully against the citrus. A pinch of salt ties everything together in that quiet way salt always does, lifting every other flavor without announcing itself. Because the whole recipe relies on coffee, maple syrup, lime, sparkling water, and salt, there's nothing here to stress about from a nightshade standpoint — no hidden spice blends, no tomato-based mixers, no paprika lurking in a premade syrup. It's the kind of drink that looks impressive poured over ice with a lime wedge on the rim but requires almost no active effort beyond a little patience while the cold brew steeps. Make a big batch of the coffee-maple base ahead of time and keep it in the fridge, then just top with sparkling water when you're ready to serve.
