Sparkling Ginger Lemonade

Pin It


I tried this lemonade for the first time several years ago at a potluck we had 
at the newspaper I was working for in Little Rock. 


I was instantly hooked and made a point to get the recipe from the guy who brought it.


I've made it many times for different types of get togethers, and it's always a huge hit with none leftover (no matter how much I make, come to think about it).


I like to drink it with a mint sprig on top. Every time you take a drink you smell mint. Heavenly!

It's super delicious and the ginger keeps it from being overly sweet.




Sparkling Ginger Lemonade

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
3-4 tbsp peeled and sliced ginger
4 lemons
1 qt. Ginger Ale

Place water, sugar and ginger into a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Stir to dissolve sugar and microwave on high for 2 minutes.

In a 2-qt pitcher, put the juice from 3 1/2 lemons and fill pitcher 2/3 full with ice. Pour in strained sugar/water over ice and stir well. Slice remaining 1/2 lemon and add to pitcher along with fresh mint if desired.

Add ginger ale when ready to serve.

  1. Perfect summer drink! I've never actually made lemonade (even as a kid! That seems like the typical kid thing to do, open a lemonade stand on the corner...) but must try it this summer. YUM!
