4 servings
For the maple simple syrup
- ¼ cup maple syrup
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined maple syrup are accepted on the protocol; the ~1 tablespoon per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid maple syrup, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ cup water
For the lemonade
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (from about ½ small pineapple)
- ¾ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 5–6 lemons)
- 16 fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
- 3 cups sparkling water, chilled
- 2 cups ice cubes
For serving
- 4 lemon slices (optional)
- 4 small pineapple wedges (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the maple syrup and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the syrup is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 15 minutes until no longer warm to the touch.

Blend the pineapple chunks until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing the pulp to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids. You should have about 1 cup of pineapple juice.
