Alpha Gal Friendly Sparkling Water with Fresh Fruit
Refreshing, vibrant, and completely free of any animal-derived ingredients that could trigger a reaction, this sparkling fruit drink is a genuinely joyful thing to sip. Strawberries and lemon bring a bright, citrusy sweetness, while fresh mint adds that cool, aromatic lift that makes the whole glass feel a little fancy. The trick of gently pressing the mint before adding the water is a small step that makes a big difference, coaxing out the oils so every pour is fragrant and flavorful. After just ten minutes of resting, the fruit begins to infuse the bubbles with natural color and taste — no syrups, no additives, nothing to second-guess. It's the kind of drink that looks stunning on a table without requiring any real effort, and it scales up beautifully if you're hosting a crowd. Pour it into a clear pitcher and let the layers of red, yellow, and green do the talking.
