Ingredients

  • ½ cup honey
  • ¾ cup still water
  • 3 slices root ginger
  • 1 cup sparkling water
  • ice

Instructions

  • Pour the honey and still water into a pot, and add the slices of root ginger. Bring to a medium heat and heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring a few times until the honey dissolves. Remove the ginger with tongs, and set the syrup aside to cool.
  • Tip ice into two tumbler glasses, and evenly pour the honey syrup into each glass. Top with sparkling water.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of honey simple syrup used to taste preference. The amount given makes a fairly sweet drink, but you can reduce the quantity of syrup used for something a littler lighter.
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice will give a more typical Bees Knees mocktail flavor, but this will likely not be suitable for low histamine readers.
  • Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
