01 -

The honey rounds out the lemons sharp edge so you never get that pucker face moment
That gorgeous pink color makes people think you worked way harder than you actually did
Sparkling water keeps it light while still feeling like a special occasion sipper

02 -

Make the honey lemon mixture ahead of time and keep it in the fridge so last minute drinks take literally 30 seconds
Pour the sparkling water down the side of the glass with a tilted spoon to keep as many bubbles as possible
The color deepens if you let the cranberry juice sit in the honey mixture for a few minutes

Room temperature ingredients mix better but then chill the final drink for maximum refreshment
Test your honey lemon mixture before adding sparkling water and adjust sweetness then
