While this recipe uses maple syrup or you can switch it to sugar free maple syrup, you can also swap honey as the sweetener in this lemonade.

Can I Make This Sparkling Lemonade?

If you wanted to make this a sparkling lemonade, you can use sparkling water or seltzer water in place of the water in the lemonade. You will want to use regular water in the cherry syrup or else it will lose its fizziness.
