Read our disclosure policy. Sparkling ginger citrusade is refreshing mocktail mixture of 5 citrus juices, ginger, honey syrup, sparkling mineral water, and a touch of salt. It’s a new year! Are you jumping on Whole30? How about green smoothies? Maybe starting a new exercise routine? I’m not jumping on any bandwagons, I’m just trying to balance eating healthier and exercising more. Feeling fatigued and drained from the holidays? Not drinking enough water or feeling dehydrated? That’s where this sparkling ginger citrusade comes to the rescue! Perhaps it’s the bright color or sweet aroma, but magically, this concoction will bring you back to life! Citrus Ginger Juice This colorful concoction mixes together ginger juice along with 5 citrus juices: Grapefruit Blood orange Orange Lemon Lime All that citrus makes this drink jam packed with Vitamin C. I use (and highly recommend) this juicer. I like to juice all the fruits separately and mix them all together in a large pitcher. It makes me feel like a chemist Plus, I just love seeing the different colors fusing and combining forces. Mixed Juice Drink The mixed juice is great on it’s own. But it’s MUCH better when combined with honey syrup (made from 1 part water and 2 parts honey), sparkling mineral water, and a pinch of salt. Honey adds just a touch of sweetness to the rather tart fruit juices and it helps to mellow out the strong ginger notes. Juice along may be overpowering. Therefore, it’s a good idea to lighten up the drink with mineral water. It adds a refreshing effervesce, making this my new favorite brunch mocktail. (Dare I say, even better than a mimosa!) Don’t omit the salt. It’s the most important part. The salt makes the citrus flavors more pronounced and it really rounds the entire drink out.
