2 cups filtered water (For clearer ice, it's best to use purified water; See Posts for more!)
1 lemon, freshly-squeezed
handful fresh rosemary sprigs, cut into pieces
Sprinkles of edible gold glitter, optional

3-4 lemons, freshly-squeezed
½ cup hot honey (I like using Mike's Hot Honey; Adjust based on sweet/heat preference!)
Lemon soda, for topping (You can also use another bubbly drink like ginger ale, ginger beer, or sparkling water)

In a bowl, add the water, edible gold glitter (if using), and lemon juice, whisking together until combined. In your favorite ice tray----carefully pour the lemonade mixture into each cavity, filling them ¾ full followed by a few pieces of the cut rosemary sprigs. Repeat until all ice cube cavities are filled. Add the tray(s) to the freezer and freeze for 3-4 hours (or overnight) until ice is formed.

In a cocktail shaker, add the freshly-squeezed lemon juice and hot honey, shaking it together until combined. NOTE: You can also whisk everything together in a bowl if it's easier.
ASSEMBLY: Add lemon sparkle ice cubes to glass(es), Add the mocktail mixture until ½ filled followed by the lemon soda or bubbly of your choice. For additional garnish, add lemon slices, and/or rosemary sprigs, if desired. Repeat for every serving.
Sip and Enjoy!

SERVINGS: To make additional mocktails, simply double or triple ingredients, depending on need.
ALCOHOL: If you'd like to keep this recipe dairy-free, but want to spruce things up with alcohol, feel free to add 1 ounce of rum, vodka, etc.
