Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Mocktail

1. In a pitcher, combine the orange juice, sparkling water, and 1 teaspoon of orange blossom water. Stir gently to preserve the bubbles.
2. Taste and adjust the orange blossom water, adding a little more if desired. Start small, as it’s highly aromatic.
3. If you prefer a sweeter drink, stir in the honey or simple syrup until dissolved.

Step 2: Chill and Serve

1. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the mocktail over the top.
2. Garnish with an orange slice, an edible flower, or a sprig of mint for a sophisticated touch.

Make-Ahead & Batching Tips

• Mix in advance: Combine the orange juice, orange blossom water, and sweetener ahead of time. Store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Add the sparkling water just before serving to keep it fizzy.
• Batch for a party: Multiply the recipe and serve in a large beverage dispenser or punch bowl. Garnish with floating orange slices or edible flowers for a show-stopping presentation.
• Ice Tip: Freeze orange slices in ice cubes for a decorative and functional garnish.

Storage

• Refrigeration: Store any leftover orange juice mixture (without sparkling water) in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add sparkling water when ready to serve.
• Freezing: Freeze leftover orange juice mixture in ice cube trays to use in future mocktails or smoothies.
