Brazil Nut Free Sparkling Orange Cinnamon Mocktail Spritz
Bright, citrusy, and laced with warm spice, this sparkling mocktail is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel a little more special — no alcohol required. Fresh-squeezed orange juice is the star, balanced by a homemade maple-cinnamon syrup that you simmer right on the stovetop in just a few minutes. The syrup steeps with whole cinnamon sticks until it's deeply fragrant, giving the finished drink a cozy depth that no store-bought mixer can replicate. Topped with chilled sparkling water and poured over ice, it's refreshing and elegant at the same time. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's zero guesswork or label-reading stress involved. It's an easy batch recipe that scales beautifully for a crowd, and the optional orange slice and cinnamon stick garnish make it look genuinely stunning in the glass.
