Can I use different types of honey for this lemonade?

Yes, you can use various types of honey such as Clover, Wildflower, or Orange Blossom. Keep in mind that darker honeys will have a stronger flavor and may slightly affect the final pink color of your Sparkling Honey Pink Lemonade.

How do I keep the soda from going flat?

To maintain the bubbles in your Sparkling Honey Pink Lemonade, always add the sparkling water or club soda last and stir very gently. It is also best to serve the drink immediately after mixing.

Is there a sugar-free alternative for the honey?

You can substitute the honey with agave nectar or a liquid stevia blend if you are looking for a different sweetener, though the flavor profile will change. Honey provides a specific floral note that defines this Sparkling Honey Pink Lemonade.

Can I make the base in advance?

Absolutely! You can mix the lemon juice, honey syrup, and cranberry juice up to 24 hours in advance. Store the base in the refrigerator and add the sparkling water just before serving to ensure maximum carbonation.
