Tasting Notes

The Honey Lemonade Gin Fizz balances sweet, sour, and floral notes. Honey adds natural sweetness without being too sugary.

Fresh lemon juice brings bright citrus flavors. The gin’s juniper and herbal notes stand out.

Club soda adds refreshing bubbles. The fizzy texture makes this cocktail light and easy to drink.

Key Flavor Notes:

• Sweet honey
• Tart lemon
• Botanical gin
• Light effervescence

The drink starts sweet, moves to citrus, and finishes with clean gin botanicals. The honey lingers pleasantly without being sticky.

This cocktail tastes best very cold. As it warms slightly, the honey and lemon flavors become stronger.

Substitute

You can make this drink without gin by using vodka or white rum.

Both options work well with the honey and lemon flavors.

For a non-alcoholic version, replace the gin with club soda.

This makes a sweet and tart honey lemonade fizz that everyone can enjoy.

Other substitutions:

• Use simple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey.
• Try lime juice instead of lemon juice.
• Switch club soda with ginger ale for extra sweetness.
• Use Meyer lemons when they are in season.

For a lower-calorie drink, use sugar-free lemonade and a sugar-free honey alternative.

The taste will be a bit different but still refreshing.

Add an extra 0.5 oz of gin if you want it stronger.

For a weaker drink, reduce the gin to 1 oz and add more club soda.
