Whenever the sun starts shining, I reach for this Spicy Ginger Lemonade Splash.
It reminds me of summer picnics when my friends and I would gather in the park, sipping on homemade beverages.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh ginger is the star here, bringing warmth and spice. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use powdered ginger, but the flavor won't be quite as vibrant. Adjust the maple syrup to your preferred sweetness—sometimes I like it a bit tart, so I use less.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my ginger lemonade in a glass pitcher, as it looks so pretty and stays fresh longer.
- •If you want a stronger ginger flavor, feel free to add more ginger or let it steep longer.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a splash of sparkling water right before serving for a fizzy twist.
- •You can also swap out the maple syrup for agave or coconut sugar if that’s what you have on hand.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it’ll last a few days. Just remember to give it a little shake or stir before serving!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! It keeps well in the fridge for about 3 days. Just give it a good stir before serving.

Add the 4 cups of water to the bowl and stir everything together until well mixed.

Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Strain the lemonade into a pitcher, discarding the ginger pulp. I like to use a fine mesh strainer for this.

Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or serve immediately over ice.
