Cinnamon Free Sparkling Coffee Maple Lemonade

Cold coffee drinks often sneak in flavored syrups loaded with warming spices, making them a minefield if you need to avoid cinnamon — but this one keeps things refreshingly clean. Strong brewed coffee meets bright, tangy lemon juice in a way that sounds unexpected and absolutely delivers. The sweetness comes entirely from a quick homemade maple simple syrup, which takes just a couple of minutes on the stovetop and lets you control exactly what goes into your glass. Chilled sparkling water gets poured slowly down the side to keep every sip effervescent, so the texture is just as satisfying as the flavor. Fresh lemon slices make it look like something you'd pay way too much for at a trendy café, but you're building it at home with five straightforward ingredients. It's the kind of drink that works equally well as a weekend brunch treat or an afternoon pick-me-up when you want something a little more interesting than plain iced coffee.
