Ingredients

4 servings

½ cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
½ cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 medium oranges)
3 tbsp maple syrup, plus more to taste
Ingredient note
AIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined maple syrup are accepted on the protocol; the ~2 1/4 teaspoons per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid maple syrup, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
3 cups sparkling water, chilled
2 cups ice cubes

For serving

4 thin orange or lime slices, for serving (optional)
4 small fresh mint sprigs, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Add the mint leaves to a pitcher. Use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to press and twist the mint firmly against the bottom of the pitcher about 8–10 times, until the leaves are bruised and fragrant.
2
Pour the lime juice, orange juice, and maple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir until the maple syrup is fully dissolved, about 30 seconds.
