This drink is sunshine in a glass — tropical, bright, and just the right amount of minty fresh. Fresh pineapple gets blended and strained into a silky juice that forms the backbone of the whole thing, layered with squeezed lemon and a homemade maple simple syrup that brings gentle sweetness without any refined sugar. Muddled mint leaves add an herbal lift that makes every sip feel a little more special than your average lemonade. The sparkling water goes in last, keeping that fizz alive and giving the whole pitcher a lively, effervescent finish. Everything here is completely plant-based by nature — no swaps needed, no label-reading required, just whole fruits, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of maple syrup. It's the kind of drink that looks impressive enough for a dinner party but comes together with minimal effort and one blender. Serve it tall over ice with a pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint, and it's honestly hard not to feel like you're somewhere warm and wonderful.

Ingredients

4 servings

For the maple simple syrup

¼ cup maple syrup
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.
2
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.
