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.
