Ingredients:
- 1 large orange
- 1 lemon
- 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons honey (or adjust to taste)
- 1 cup sparkling water or soda water
- Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions:
Begin by preparing the orange infusion: Using a vegetable peeler or zester, carefully remove the zest of the orange in thin strips. Avoid getting the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside.
Juice the peeled orange, lemon, and lime. Combine the citrus juices in a pitcher.
In a small saucepan, combine the citrus zest and honey. Gently warm the mixture over low heat, stirring until the honey is dissolved and the zest releases its aromatic oils. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once the citrus zest mixture has cooled, strain it into the pitcher with the citrus juices, discarding the zest.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes.
Pour the citrus juice mixture over the ice, filling the glasses about halfway.
Top each glass with sparkling water or soda water, adjusting the amount to your desired level of sweetness.
Give the mocktail a gentle stir to combine the flavors.
Garnish each glass with a fresh rosemary sprig for an aromatic and earthy twist.
