Cinnamon Free Sparkling Kiwi Lime Spritzer
Bright, tropical, and endlessly refreshing, this sparkling kiwi lime spritzer is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel a little more special. Ripe kiwis get muddled down into a lush pulp, then combined with fresh lime juice and a quick maple-lime syrup that adds just the right touch of sweetness without any refined sugar. Straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a beautifully smooth, jewel-toned base that looks stunning poured over ice. Many flavored drinks and syrups sneak in spice blends or warming additives that can be tricky to avoid, but every ingredient here is clean, simple, and easy to verify. The fizzy sparkling water lifts the whole thing into something that feels celebratory, and the optional mint and lime wheel garnish make it genuinely gorgeous to serve to guests. It comes together in just a few easy steps with no special equipment beyond a pitcher and a strainer, making it as practical as it is impressive.
