Low FODMAP Sparkling Strawberry Lime Spritzer

Fresh strawberries get muddled with maple syrup and a pinch of salt until they're deeply juicy, then strained smooth and brightened with a generous squeeze of lime before sparkling water brings the whole thing to life. The result is a vibrant, blush-pink drink that looks like something from a fancy brunch menu but comes together in minutes with zero cooking required. Gut-friendly drinking can feel limiting when it comes to flavored beverages, since so many store-bought options sneak in high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice concentrates, or other problematic sweeteners — this one keeps things clean and controlled. Each serving uses six medium strawberries and one tablespoon of maple syrup, both comfortably within tested thresholds, so you can sip without second-guessing. The straining step is a small but smart move that gives you a silky, pulp-free base that mixes beautifully with the bubbles. Serve it over ice with a lime wheel and a sprig of fresh mint and it's genuinely impressive enough for guests, whether they follow any particular eating plan or not. It makes four servings, so it's just as easy to set out a pitcher for a crowd as it is to pour a single glass for yourself on a quiet afternoon.
