Mustard Free Gluten Free Ginger Citrus Punch
Bright, zingy, and completely refreshing, this sparkling punch layers fresh-squeezed orange, lemon, and lime juice with a homemade ginger syrup that you simmer right on the stovetop. The syrup is the secret weapon here — gently cooking sliced ginger with sugar and water coaxes out a warm, aromatic depth that bottled ginger drinks just can't match. Everything in this recipe is naturally free from mustard and mustard derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or ingredient second-guessing involved. It's a genuinely clean drink built from whole citrus, sugar, water, and sparkling water — nothing hidden, nothing processed. The finishing touch of chilled sparkling water keeps things lively and effervescent, and a handful of ice with a few citrus slices makes it look like something you'd order at a fancy brunch spot. Whether you're hosting a crowd or just want something special on a weeknight, this punch is easy to scale up and impossible not to love.
