Sparkling Maple Ginger Lemonade

Drinks · 15 min · Serves 4 · Easy · Best with Golden Delicate maple syrup

A bright, fizzy lemonade sweetened with delicate Golden maple and warmed by fresh ginger. Refreshing on its own and an easy mixer for spring gatherings.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Golden Delicate maple syrup
  • ½ cup water
  • 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
  • 3 cups chilled sparkling water
  • Ice
  • Lemon wheels and fresh mint sprigs, to garnish

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, water, and sliced ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let the ginger steep for another 10 minutes.
  3. Strain the ginger maple syrup into a pitcher and discard the ginger slices.
  4. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, then chill the base for at least 10 minutes.
  5. When ready to serve, fill four glasses with ice, divide the lemon–ginger maple base evenly between them, and top each with sparkling water.
  6. Stir gently and garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of fresh mint.
Tip: Golden Delicate maple keeps this lemonade light and floral so the ginger and lemon stay front and center. For a grown-up version, add 1½ ounces of bourbon or vodka to each glass before topping with sparkling water.
