# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes but looks like something from a fancy cafe menu
  • The honey lemon base keeps in the fridge for days so you can mix up fresh sodas whenever guests drop by
02 -
  • The honey needs to fully dissolve before you add anything else or youll end up with sweet pockets in your drink
  • Sparkling water loses its carbonation faster than you think, so pour it last and serve immediately
03 -
  • Wet the rim of your glass and dip it in sugar or salt for a restaurant style finish
  • Freeze some lemon juice in ice cube trays and use those instead of plain ice so your drink never gets watered down
