Peanut Free Sparkling Grape Mint Agua Fresca
This refreshing drink is everything you want on a warm day — fruity, herby, a little tart, and beautifully effervescent. Fresh grapes get blended with mint, lime juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt, then strained into a silky base that tastes far more sophisticated than the effort involved. The sparkling water gets stirred in gently right before serving to keep every glass lively and bubbly. It's the kind of drink that looks stunning on a table without requiring any special equipment beyond a blender and a fine-mesh strainer. Every ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and tree nuts, so there's no label-reading stress — just whole, simple produce and pantry staples. Serve it over ice with a sprig of mint and a lime slice and it instantly feels like something from a fancy brunch spread. Kids and adults alike tend to reach for a second glass before the first one is even finished.
