What You Need for the Salted Lemon Fizz
Ingredients (makes one 4 oz pour)
- 1 oz Wood Stove Kitchen Lemon Drop Mocktail Mixer
- 3 oz club soda or sparkling water, chilled
Garnish
- BlueHenry Lemon & Thyme glass rimmer (half rim)
- 1 dried lemon wheel
How to Make the Salted Lemon Fizz
- Wet half the rim of a tall glass and dip it into the lemon thyme rimmer. A half rim lets you choose salty or sweet with every sip.
- Fill the glass with ice and add the Lemon Drop.
- Top with club soda and stir gently so you don’t lose the bubbles.
- Garnish with a dried lemon wheel.
How to Make a Pitcher for a Crowd
Pour 8 oz of Lemon Drop into a large pitcher, add ice and dried lemon wheels, then top with 24 oz of club soda right before guests arrive. Set out a small dish of the rimmer so everyone can salt their own glass. That’s 8 drinks in about two minutes.
Pro Tips and Easy Variations
Make It Herbal
Drop a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme into the glass. The herbs bloom in the bubbles and make it smell amazing.

Top with half club soda and half Mingle Blood Orange Elderflower Mimosa for a pink-hued twist on our Blood Orange Sunrise.
Make It Less Sweet
Use ¾ oz of Lemon Drop and a squeeze of fresh lemon for a sharper, more refreshing sip.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is in a salted lemon mocktail?
The Salted Lemon Fizz uses Wood Stove Kitchen Lemon Drop mixer and club soda, finished with a half lemon thyme salt rim and a dried lemon wheel.
Why add salt to a lemon mocktail?
A little salt softens bitterness and makes citrus taste brighter and juicier. A half rim lets you control how much you get in each sip.
Can I use sparkling water instead of club soda?
Yes. Any unflavored sparkling water works, and lemon or grapefruit sparkling water adds an extra citrus layer.
How many drinks does one bottle of Lemon Drop make?
At 1 oz per drink, a 16 oz bottle makes 16 Salted Lemon Fizzes.
