Makes 1 serving. Ingredient quantities update with the selected batch size.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the sweet potato puree, maple syrup, lemon juice, ginger juice, and oat milk.
Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled and the puree is fully integrated.
Double strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.
Top with chilled sparkling water and stir gently to combine.
Garnish with a lemon wheel and a light dusting of cinnamon.
For a crowd: Multiply the base ingredients (puree, syrup, lemon, ginger, oat milk) by the number of guests and blend in a large pitcher. Chill thoroughly. When serving, pour 4 ounces of the base into individual glasses over ice and top each with 3 ounces of sparkling water.
Easy swaps: Substitute maple syrup with agave nectar. Use cashew milk instead of oat milk for a richer texture. Swap fresh ginger juice with a strong ginger beer (reduce sparkling water if doing so).
Yes, as long as it is 100% pure sweet potato without added spices or sugar. Be sure to whisk it until smooth before adding to the shaker.
Grate fresh ginger root and squeeze the pulp through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer to extract the liquid.
The starch in the sweet potato and the dilution from the sparkling water help stabilize the mixture, but shaking vigorously with ice is essential to create a temporary emulsion.
