Tips:

- When choosing your sparkling water, opt for a brand that is low in sugar and sodium. This will help to keep your lemonade floats healthy and refreshing. - If you are using fresh lemons, be sure to wash them thoroughly before juicing them. This will help to remove any dirt or pesticides that may be on the lemons. - For a sweeter lemonade float, add more sugar or honey to taste. - If you are using a store-bought lemonade mix, be sure to follow the package directions for the correct amount of water to use. - Serve your lemonade floats immediately after they are made.
