Peanut Free Pineapple Ginger Mocktail
Bright, tropical, and just a little spicy, this pineapple ginger mocktail is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel like a celebration. Fresh pineapple juice gets pressed and strained right at home, so you know exactly what's going into your glass — no store-bought blends with murky ingredient lists to second-guess. A quick homemade ginger syrup made with maple syrup and sliced fresh ginger brings a warm, aromatic kick that balances the sweetness of the pineapple beautifully. A hit of fresh lime juice ties everything together before a generous pour of chilled sparkling water adds that satisfying fizz. The whole thing comes together with a good shake over ice, so it arrives in the glass cold, frothy, and absolutely refreshing. Garnish with a pineapple slice, a lime wedge, or a sprig of fresh mint if you want to make it look as good as it tastes.

Instructions
- 1
Combine the water, maple syrup, and sliced ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the maple syrup dissolves. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 minutes, until the syrup is fragrant and the ginger flavor is pronounced. Remove from the heat and let steep for 10 minutes.

Pour the ginger syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl or measuring cup, pressing the ginger slices to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes.
