Soy Free Cranberry Orange Lemonade
Bright, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet, this sparkling drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all season long. Three kinds of fresh-squeezed and pure fruit juice come together in one pitcher, giving you layers of citrusy flavor that no store-bought blend can match. A quick maple simple syrup adds natural sweetness without any refined sugar or mystery additives — just maple syrup and water, simmered and stirred until smooth. Soy is notoriously easy to overlook in packaged beverages and flavored drink mixes, so making your own from scratch is the cleanest way to go. The unsweetened pure cranberry juice brings a gorgeous ruby color and a pleasantly tart backbone that keeps the whole thing from tipping into candy-sweet territory. Chilled sparkling water gets folded in at the end with a gentle stir so you keep every last bubble. Serve it over ice with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint for a glass that looks as good as it tastes.
