Bright, tangy, and beautifully pink, this sparkling strawberry-lime drink is the kind of thing that makes a regular afternoon feel like a little occasion. Fresh strawberries get muddled with lime juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until they break down into a deeply colored, intensely fruity base — no artificial flavors, no syrups from a bottle. Straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, jewel-toned liquid that looks genuinely stunning poured over ice. A slow pour of chilled sparkling water keeps every sip fizzy and refreshing, and a lime wheel or sprig of mint on the rim takes the whole thing over the top. It's completely free of coffee, tea, or any other stimulants, so it works any time of day — morning brunch, afternoon wind-down, or a festive dinner table where not everyone wants an alcoholic option. The maple syrup adds a gentle, rounded sweetness that plays beautifully against the tartness of the lime without tipping into cloying territory. Simple to make and impossible not to love, this is the mocktail you'll come back to all summer long.

Ingredients

2 servings

16 medium fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
4 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
4 tbsp maple syrup
¼ tsp fine salt
1 cup ice cubes, divided
1 ½ cups plain sparkling water, chilled

For serving

2 lime wheels or wedges (optional)
2 fresh mint sprigs (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the strawberries, lime juice, maple syrup, and salt in the bottom of a large measuring cup or pitcher. Muddle firmly with a cocktail muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon until the strawberries are fully broken down and deeply red, about 30 seconds.
2
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl or large measuring cup and pour the muddled mixture through it, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
