Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup crushed ice
- 2 pieces mint leaves
- 1 slice lemon slices
Instructions
Begin by preparing your glass. Fill it halfway with crushed ice to ensure a chilled beverage.
In a separate small bowl, mix the freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the honey or syrup is completely dissolved.
Pour the juice mixture over the crushed ice in your glass.
Slowly add the sparkling water, pouring it gently to maintain the carbonation.
Stir lightly to combine all the ingredients, but do not over stir as this can reduce the fizziness.
