Low FODMAP Sparkling Orange Cinnamon Mocktail Spritz

This festive mocktail is bright, bubbly, and genuinely elegant — the kind of drink that makes a regular Tuesday feel like a celebration. Freshly squeezed orange juice brings natural citrus sweetness, while a homemade maple-cinnamon syrup adds warm, spiced depth that no store-bought mixer could replicate. The whole thing comes together in under 30 minutes, and most of that is hands-off steeping time while your kitchen fills with the most incredible cinnamon aroma. Navigating fizzy drinks and flavored syrups can be tricky when you're watching your gut triggers, since many commercial options sneak in high-fructose sweeteners or fruit concentrates that cause problems. Here, every ingredient is intentional — the orange juice is portioned at exactly 1/4 cup per serving, which keeps it comfortably within the low-FODMAP threshold, and maple syrup steps in as a gut-friendly sweetener in a modest, well-measured amount. No mystery ingredients, no label anxiety, just a genuinely delicious drink you can feel good about. Serve it over ice in tall glasses with an orange slice and a cinnamon stick for a presentation that looks far more impressive than the effort involved. It's perfect for brunches, holiday gatherings, or anytime you want something special without the alcohol — and it serves four, so everyone at the table gets a glass.

Ingredient note
Freshly squeezed orange juice is low in FODMAPs in modest amounts, and this recipe works out to about 1/4 cup per serving, so it is likely fine.
2 cups sparkling water, chilled
2 cups ice cubes

For serving

4 thin orange slices, for garnish (optional)
4 cinnamon sticks, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the water, maple syrup, and 2 cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the maple syrup dissolves, then bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 minutes, until the syrup is fragrant and lightly coats the back of a spoon.
2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cinnamon syrup steep for 20 minutes, until deeply fragrant. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl or jar and discard the cinnamon sticks. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
