Maple Ginger Sparkler Mocktail Recipe
I've crafted a refreshing Maple Ginger Sparkler Mocktail that's perfect for any occasion. 🍹 This drink combines the sweetness of maple syrup with the zing of ginger, creating a fizzy delight. Let’s dive into what you need and how to make this tasty drink!
Equipment
- A cocktail shaker will help mix the syrup and juices well. If you don’t have a shaker, a mason jar with a lid can work.
- A fine mesh strainer is essential to keep the texture smooth.
- Grab a measuring cup for accuracy and a juicer if you’re using fresh citrus.
- A stirring spoon and serving glasses complete the setup.
- Keep everything handy for an effortless mocktail-making experience. 🥤
Ingredients
Here’s what I usually use to create this mocktail:
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup fresh ginger juice or 2 tbsp grated ginger
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish
When selecting ingredients, I always choose fresh ginger and real maple syrup for the best flavor.
Instructions
- It's time to mix everything together! Start by combining the maple syrup, ginger, and lemon juice in your shaker.
- Add a handful of ice and shake well for about 20 seconds. This blends the flavors nicely. 🤗
- Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Top it off with sparkling water and gently stir. Garnish with a lemon slice and a few mint leaves if you're feeling fancy. Enjoy your refreshing Maple Ginger Sparkler!
Notes
Feel free to make adjustments to suit your taste! Add a little more maple syrup if you want it sweeter, or throw in extra ginger for a stronger kick.
For a kid-friendly version, use a flavored sparkling water like lemon or lime. 🍋
