Bright, herby, and refreshingly citrusy, this lemonade is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel like a genuine occasion. Fresh-squeezed lemon and orange juice give it a layered tartness that bottled lemonade simply can't match, while a homemade mint simple syrup — steeped right in warm maple syrup — adds a cool, fragrant sweetness that ties everything together beautifully. The whole thing comes together in one pitcher with no special equipment beyond a saucepan and a muddler or wooden spoon. Because every single ingredient here is plant-based and naturally sourced, it fits effortlessly into a pescatarian lifestyle without any label-reading or substitutions required. You can dial the tartness up or down to your taste before serving, which makes it easy to please a whole crowd. Poured over ice with a few citrus slices and a sprig of fresh mint, it looks stunning on a table without any extra effort.

Combine the maple syrup and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the syrup is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add the mint leaves to the warm syrup and press them gently with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon until fragrant. Let the mint steep for 10 minutes, then strain out and discard the leaves.
