Ingredients
Scale
Sweetener Mixture
- ½ cup honey (adjustable)
- ½ cup water
Juices
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- 1 cup unsweetened cranberry juice
Other
- 4 cups sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions
- Prepare the honey syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the honey and ½ cup of water. Heat over low heat until the honey completely dissolves, then remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Extract lemon juice: Squeeze fresh lemons until you obtain 1 cup of juice, optionally straining out the seeds and pulp for a smooth beverage.
- Mix the base: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled honey syrup, fresh lemon juice, and unsweetened cranberry juice. Stir thoroughly to blend all the flavors evenly.
- Add sparkling water: Slowly pour in the sparkling water or club soda into the pitcher, stirring gently to keep the carbonation intact and maintain the soda’s fizz.
- Serve and garnish: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the pink soda over the ice. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves for an appealing presentation and extra freshness.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of honey based on your preferred sweetness level.
- For a more intense cranberry flavor, use unsweetened 100% cranberry juice without added sugars.
- Strain the lemon juice if you prefer a pulp-free drink.
- Ensure to add sparkling water last and stir gently to maintain the carbonation.
- This beverage is best served chilled and consumed fresh for optimal fizz and flavor.
