Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Begin by juicing fresh lemons until you have 100 ml of lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp.

  2. 2

    Zesting the Lemon

    Use a microplane or a zester to remove the zest from one lemon. Be careful to only zest the yellow part of the skin to avoid the bitter white pith.

  3. 3

    Making Simple Syrup (Optional)

    If using simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow to cool.

Mixing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large glass or pitcher, combine the sparkling water, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. If you desire sweetness, add the simple syrup or honey to taste.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnishing

    Pour the mixture into serving glasses filled with ice. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a few fresh mint leaves.

  2. 6

    Enjoy

    Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Spindrift Lemon!
