01 -

The honey mellows the lemon's sharp edge so you get brightness without the pucker face
That stunning pink color makes even regular Tuesdays feel like a garden party
It comes together in literally ten minutes flat

02 -

I learned the hard way that pouring sparkling water directly into the lemon mixture makes half the fizz escape before it even hits the glass
Honey dissolves so much better in room temperature lemon juice than cold
The drink develops a slightly deeper flavor if the cranberry and lemon mixture sits for five minutes before adding the fizz

03 -

Freeze some lemon juice in ice cube trays to prevent your drink from getting diluted as the ice melts
Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of each glass and dip in coarse sugar for that fancy cafe touch
