# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The balance of tart citrus and floral honey feels sophisticated yet incredibly simple.
  • It comes together in mere minutes for instant gratification.
02 -
  • Honey resists dissolving in cold liquids, so really put some muscle into that first whisking step.
  • Pour the soda last to preserve as many bubbles as possible for a lively texture.
03 -
  • Use a heavy bottomed pitcher if you are making a large batch to minimize splashing when adding the soda.
  • Squeezing the lemon slightly before cutting releases oils that make the garnish smell amazing.
