Method
Base & Sweetener
Make honey syrup
Place the honey and hot water in a small heatproof bowl or jar. Stir until fully combined and smooth to create a pourable honey syrup (approx. 1:1 by volume). Allow to cool to room temperature (about 5 minutes).
Mix peach base
In a large pitcher, combine the peach nectar (2 cups), fresh lemon juice (1/2 cup) and 3 tablespoons of the prepared honey syrup. Stir well for about 20–30 seconds until evenly combined and slightly frothy. Taste and adjust sweetness: add up to 1 more tablespoon honey syrup if you prefer sweeter.
Carbonation & Finish
Chill and prepare glasses
Fill four serving glasses with ice (about 1/2 cup ice per glass) or place the pitcher in the refrigerator for 10 minutes if you prefer a cooler mixture before adding carbonation.
Add sparkling water
Just before serving, gently stir the peach-lemon base once more and slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water (2 cups) to retain effervescence. Stir very gently once (5–6 slow strokes) to combine. Avoid vigorous stirring to keep bubbles.
Notes
For a smoother texture, strain the peach nectar through a fine mesh if it contains pulp. To make this into a cocktail, add 2–3 oz (60–90 ml) vodka or light rum per serving before adding sparkling water.
