Instructions
Stir the juice and honey until it dissolves. Start with room temperature juice, it helps the honey dissolve easier. If you are having trouble dissolving, heat slightly.
To a chilled pitcher filled with ice cubes, add the calamansi-honey mixture, sparkling water and vodka. Taste and adjust, if needed. Stir to cool, strain and serve. Top with shiso leaf and calamansi slice. Mocktail - omit the vodka, add a few dashes of orange bitters and serve in tall glasses over ice. Enjoy!
