# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The honey mellows out the lemon's sharp edge without making it cloying
  • That natural pink color makes every glass feel like a tiny celebration
  • You can adjust everything to your taste—more tart, more sweet, more fizz
02 -
  • Stirring too vigorously kills the fizz fast—just one gentle swirl is enough
  • The honey needs to be fully dissolved or youll get sweet surprises at the bottom of the glass
03 -
  • Room temperature honey blends into lemon juice way faster than cold honey does
  • The drink looks most stunning in clear glasses so you can see that pretty pink layer
