Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) blood orange juice, freshly squeezed or store-bought
- 2 cups (480 ml) sparkling water, plain or lightly flavored
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup, to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions
- Juice the blood oranges: Slice the blood oranges in half and juice them to yield about 1 cup (240 ml) of juice.
