Black Pepper Free Sparkling Pineapple Mint Water
Bright, tropical, and endlessly refreshing, this sparkling infused water is the kind of drink that makes a regular afternoon feel a little more special. Fresh pineapple chunks and bruised mint leaves steep in cold water until every sip carries a light, naturally sweet flavor that no store-bought beverage can quite match. Bruising the mint by hand is a small step that makes a big difference, releasing the essential oils and giving the whole pitcher a fragrant, garden-fresh lift. When it comes to avoiding hidden spices, a drink like this is wonderfully straightforward — every ingredient is whole, clean, and exactly what it says it is, with zero seasoning blends to second-guess. The gentle addition of chilled sparkling water at the end keeps things bubbly and lively without losing any of that delicate infusion. Garnished with a thin pineapple slice and a sprig of mint, it's pretty enough to serve at a brunch or dinner party and easy enough to make on a Tuesday.
