You can do this by microwaving for 20-30 seconds or simmering in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk vigorously until the ingredients are well combined and then let cool slightly.
- Juice blood orange(s): Use a citrus juicer or lemon squeezer to juice the orange(s).
- Assemble: Add ice cubes or crushed ice to a glass. Pour in 3/4oz lemon honey simple syrup, 3oz blood orange juice and finish it off with sparkling water! Garnish with citrus slices and fresh mint.
Pitcher: In a large pitcher combine the blood orange juice and lemon honey simple syrup. Fill each glass halfway and top it off with sparkling water. Garnish as desired.
Notes
Make it alcoholic: add 1 ½ oz vodka, gin or tequila to each drink.
