Vitamin Lemon Sparkler Mocktail

1.Prepare the Vitamin Lemon Concentrate: In a small bowl or cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lemon juice, honey (or agave), Vitamin C powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

2.Whisk or shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the honey is fully dissolved and the vitamin powder is mostly incorporated into the liquid base. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

3.Chill the Concentrate: If not using immediately, cover the concentrate and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to ensure it is very cold.

4.Assemble the Mocktail: Fill a tall glass (such as a highball or Collins glass) with ice cubes.

5.Pour the prepared Vitamin Lemon Concentrate over the ice, filling the glass about one-third full.

6.Top the mixture slowly with the chilled sparkling water or club soda, leaving about half an inch of space at the rim.

7.Gently stir once or twice with a long spoon to combine the concentrate and the sparkling water without losing too much carbonation.

8.Garnish each glass with a thin lemon wheel placed on the rim or dropped into the drink, and a fresh sprig of mint lightly slapped between your palms to release its aroma before placing it in the glass.
