½ cup water

For the Soda

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
1 cup unsweetened cranberry juice
4 cups sparkling water or club soda

For Garnish

Instructions

Dissolve honey: In a small saucepan, combine the honey and ½ cup of water. Heat on low heat while stirring occasionally until the honey fully dissolves into the water, then remove from heat and let this honey mixture cool completely.
Prepare lemon juice: Squeeze fresh lemons to extract about 1 cup of lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp if desired for a smoother drink.
Mix base ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled honey syrup, the fresh lemon juice, and the unsweetened cranberry juice. Stir well to blend these flavors together.
Add carbonation: Slowly pour in the sparkling water or club soda into the mixture. Stir gently and slowly to combine, preserving the fizziness of the soda.
Serve and garnish: Serve the honey lemon pink soda over ice cubes. Garnish each glass with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves for a bright, aromatic finish.

Notes

Adjust the amount of honey according to your preferred sweetness.
Use chilled sparkling water to keep the soda cold and bubbly longer.
Straining the lemon juice helps achieve a clear, smooth beverage.
Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing aroma and enhance the presentation.
This soda is best enjoyed immediately to retain its fizz.
