Utterly delicious. I just happened to have very liquid honey on hand that was a dark amber color and it wasn't really difficult to mix it with the lemon juice without heating it. Once it was mixed I just added the Club Soda to the glass (I made 1 serving) along with the ice and it was ready in about 5-6 mins. I just dipped the empty glass rim in the juice and then the salt to rim the glass. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
