Gluten Free Lemon Ginger Mocktail Spritz

Bright, zingy, and endlessly refreshing, this lemon ginger mocktail spritz is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel a little more special — no bar cart required. The star of the show is a homemade ginger-maple syrup that you simmer low and slow, letting the fresh ginger steep until the flavor is bold and aromatic before straining it into a clean, golden base. Squeezed over real lemons and topped with chilled sparkling water, the result is effervescent and perfectly balanced between tart, sweet, and spicy. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just pour and enjoy. It's a fantastic option for gatherings where you want something sophisticated and crowd-pleasing that everyone at the table can actually drink. A lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint on the rim take it from weeknight refresher to something that genuinely looks stunning in a glass.
