Fresh strawberries muddled with lime juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt create a vibrant, jewel-toned base that tastes like summer in a glass. The whole thing comes together in minutes — no blender, no fancy equipment, just a muddler and a fine-mesh strainer standing between you and something genuinely refreshing. Maple syrup does the sweetening here instead of refined sugar or agave, keeping it clean and grain-free without sacrificing any of that bright, fruity depth. Topped with chilled sparkling water and stirred just enough to combine, it stays beautifully fizzy all the way to the last sip. A lime wheel and fresh mint sprig make it look like something you'd order at a nice restaurant, but you made it at home in under ten minutes. It's the kind of drink that works equally well at a backyard cookout or a quiet afternoon when you just want something a little special.

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.
