Sparkling Lemonade
Description
Sparkling Lemonade is made from freshly squeezed lemon juice mixed with honey until dissolved, diluted with cold water, then finished with bubbly club soda. The balance of sweet and tart is gentle, highlighting lemon's natural sharpness while the honey smooths the edges. This drink is served chilled over ice, often with a lemon slice garnish. It offers a lively carbonation that complements the citrus freshness without excessive sweetness or bitterness.
The lemonade's effervescence comes from the addition of club soda just before serving, preserving the bubbles. Adjusting the amount of honey or club soda can tailor the drink to personal taste preferences, either sweeter or less fizzy.

- 1/2 cup honey
