# What You Need:

01 - 2 cups cold sparkling water

03 - 1/4 cup honey

04 - 1/2 cup cranberry juice (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)

05 - Ice cubes

07 - Fresh mint leaves

01 - In a small pitcher, whisk together the lemon juice and honey until the honey is fully dissolved into the liquid.

02 - Pour in the cranberry juice and stir thoroughly to combine with the lemon-honey mixture, creating a uniform pink base.

03 - Fill four glasses generously with ice cubes to ensure the beverage stays chilled and refreshing.

04 - Distribute the lemon-honey-cranberry mixture evenly among the prepared glasses, filling each about one-third full.

05 - Top each glass with 1/2 cup cold sparkling water and stir gently just once or twice to combine while preserving the carbonation.

06 - Decorate each glass with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves. Serve immediately while the sparkling water retains its fizz.

01 -

The honey balances lemon sharpness with a gentle floral sweetness that never feels cloying
That stunning pink color makes even a regular Tuesday afternoon feel like a garden party

02 -

Honey does not dissolve well in cold liquids so make sure to whisk it thoroughly with the lemon juice first
Sparkling water loses its carbonation quickly once mixed so serve immediately after pouring

03 -

Pour the sparkling water slowly down the side of the glass to preserve as many bubbles as possible
Use crystal clear glasses to really show off that gorgeous pink color
