Notes

Store any leftover orange juice mixture in the fridge for up to 2 days. Do not add soda water until serving.
Add more or less honey simple syrup based on desired sweetness.
Orange blossom water has a strong flavor – start with less and add more to taste.
For best results, use freshly squeezed orange juice rather than store-bought.
Make ice cubes from orange juice to prevent the drink from becoming diluted as they melt.

Tasting Notes

The Orange Blossom Refresh Mocktail offers a bright, citrusy flavor profile with hints of floral sweetness. The orange juice provides a natural sweetness that blends smoothly with the light, fragrant notes of orange blossom water.

A subtle tang from fresh lemon juice adds balance and depth to the drink. The carbonation from sparkling water creates a refreshing fizz that lifts the flavors and adds a pleasant effervescence.

Key flavor notes:

  • Sweet orange
  • Delicate floral
  • Light citrus
  • Fresh and crisp
  • Clean finish

The drink starts sweet on the palate and ends with a clean, refreshing finish. Cold temperatures bring out the best flavors, making this mocktail perfect for warm weather.

The garnish of fresh orange slices and mint leaves adds visual appeal while enhancing the drink’s aroma. As you sip, the mint provides a cooling sensation that complements the citrus elements.

This mocktail strikes a nice balance between sweet and tart flavors. The orange blossom water’s subtle floral notes prevent the drink from being overly sweet or one-dimensional.
