Spiced Orange Mocktail

Two small wine glasses with jack-o-lantern face on them, with an orange beverage inside.

The perfect compliment to Spooky Season is our Spiced Orange Mocktail! It's lightly sweet and spiced with complimentary flavors of cinnamon and ginger. It leaves just a little tingle in the back of your throat! Deliciously alluring and with far less sugar than most punch.

Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup Water
2 tablespoon 100% Pure Maple Syrup
1 Cinnamon Stick
2 inch piece Fresh Ginger Root chopped
1 ½ cups 100% Orange Juice no pulp
1 cup 100% Carrot Juice
½ Lemon juiced
2 cups Seltzer Water

Instructions

In a small sauce pan, combine the water, maple syrup, ginger root and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer it to a mug and pop it in the refrigerator for faster cooling.
Combine the orange juice, carrot juice, and lemon juice in a large bowl.
Remove the cinnamon stick and ginger from the maple sweetener, and pour it into the punch.
Pour in the seltzer and stir just before serving. The carbonation will dissipate over time, so do this as close to serving time as possible.
Serve cold over ice.

Notes

This mocktail looks great served in a clear cup with a jack-o-lantern face drawn on it. It's fun to leave a permanent marker near the cups and let guests draw their own!
