High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Ginger Apple Sparkling Cooler

Crisp, fizzy, and warmly spiced, this sparkling cooler is the kind of drink that feels fancy without requiring any special equipment or hard-to-find ingredients. So many bottled sodas and juice blends sneak in sweeteners that can be tough to avoid, but here every drop of sweetness comes from plain granulated sugar and fresh apple juice — nothing hidden, nothing processed. The real star is the homemade ginger syrup, which you can dial up or down to suit your heat preference, one tablespoon at a time. Fresh ginger simmered with sugar and water produces a fragrant, slightly spicy concentrate that pairs beautifully with the bright, clean flavor of not-from-concentrate apple juice. Topped off with chilled sparkling water, the result is a refreshing, lightly effervescent drink that feels like something you'd order at a nice brunch spot. A few apple slices and a sprig of mint make it look effortlessly put-together, whether you're serving a crowd or just treating yourself on a warm afternoon.
