Strawberry Orange Honey Concentrate

• 1/2 cup Weeks Honey Farm Florida Raw Orange Blossom Honey
• 1/2 cup filtered water
• 2 cups 100% orange juice
• 1/4 cup peeled and minced fresh ginger root
• 2 cups thinly sliced fresh strawberries

For Serving

• 3 cups chilled sparkling water
• Ice cubes
• 4 fresh orange slices
• 1 cup thinly sliced fresh strawberries
• 4 large fresh mint sprigs

Make the Strawberry Orange Honey Concentrate

1. Add the Orange Blossom Honey, filtered water, orange juice, ginger, and 2 cups sliced strawberries to a small saucepan.
2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat. Mash the strawberries with a spoon to release their juice and color, then let the mixture cool to room temperature.
4. Strain through a very fine mesh strainer or dampened cheesecloth into a bowl, pressing gently on the solids to extract the liquid. Discard the solids.
5. Cover and refrigerate the concentrate until thoroughly chilled.

Build the Fizz

1. Divide the chilled strawberry-orange concentrate evenly among four tall glasses.
2. Add 3/4 cup sparkling water to each glass and stir gently.
3. Add ice, one orange slice, 1/4 cup sliced strawberries, and one mint sprig to each glass.
4. Serve immediately while the drink is cold and bubbly.

Make-Ahead and Variations

• Prepare and refrigerate the concentrate up to one day ahead. Add sparkling water and ice only when serving.
• Use citrus-flavored sparkling water for a brighter finish.
• Substitute lime slices for the orange garnish.
• For adults of legal drinking age, replace some or all of the sparkling water with chilled prosecco or sparkling wine.

Why Orange Blossom Honey Works

Orange Blossom Honey adds citrus-floral sweetness that reinforces the orange juice and balances tart berries and spicy fresh ginger. It is the ingredient that rounds out the concentrate without relying on plain sugar.
