Homemade Sparkling Juice
This homemade sparkling juice combines a ginger-spiked grape and apple juice syrup with carbonated water or seltzer for an easy and festive non-alcoholic beverage.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 piece (2 inch) ginger, sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup white grape juice concentrate, thawed
- 1 cup apple juice concentrate, thawed
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 1/2 quarts carbonated water or seltzer
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the water and ginger and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat immediately and let steep for 30 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the ginger from the pan. Stir in the sugar, white grape and apple juice concentrates, and lemon juice.
- Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, 3 to 7 minutes.
- Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Pour the syrup into a clean, heatproof jar and refrigerate until cold, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- To make sparkling juice, mix with seltzer or carbonated water, using 2 to 4 tablespoons syrup per 8 ounces seltzer or carbonated water, or to taste. Make a toast, clink glasses, and enjoy!
