How do I make the Honey Lemon Pink Soda actually pink?

The pink hue in this Honey Lemon Pink Soda comes from a small splash of cranberry juice or a concentrated hibiscus tea, which adds color without overpowering the lemon flavor.

Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?

For the best Honey Lemon Pink Soda experience, fresh lemon juice is highly recommended as it provides a brighter acidity and better aroma than bottled varieties.

Is it possible to make this drink ahead of time?

You can prepare the honey-lemon syrup base for the Honey Lemon Pink Soda up to 3 days in advance. However, wait to add the sparkling water until just before serving to maintain the carbonation.

What is the best honey to use for this soda?

A light-colored honey like Clover or Orange Blossom works best for Honey Lemon Pink Soda because they have a mild, floral profile that complements the citrus perfectly.
