Like lemonade but more sophisticated. Partially inspired by classic Italian sparkling lemonade, limonata, this version is complex and dynamic thanks to the funky preserved lemon. Using bittersweet tonic water as the mixer here helps to balance the sourness of fresh lemon and the brininess of preserved lemon, but sparkling water and a bit of simple syrup will work, too. It’s perfect for sipping poolside or serving as a mocktail.
