Notes

Don’t omit the pinch of salt. It’s the most important part. The salt makes the citrus flavors more pronounced and it really rounds the entire drink out.
Keep the mixed juices (separate from the sparkling water) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

To make honey syrup: bring to a boil ½ cup filtered water and 1 cup honey. Stir until honey dissolves. Cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
