Wash the orange thoroughly under running water.
Cut the orange in half and squeeze out the juice using a citrus juicer. If you prefer pulp in your drink, you can skip straining the juice. Otherwise, strain it to remove the pulp.
In a large pitcher or mixing glass, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice with the honey (if using). Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the sparkling water to the orange juice mixture. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose the carbonation.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour the orange sparkling water evenly into each glass.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves on top for added aroma and a pop of color (optional).
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sparkling Orange Water!
