Orange blossom water is powerful: one teaspoon can perfume an entire glass. Here it meets lemon and fizz for a drink that tastes like a Moroccan garden at night. Shake lemon juice with simple syrup and a carefully measured splash of orange blossom, then top with sparkling water so it lifts the aroma into the air. Add gin for a grown-up edge, or leave it out for sparkling citronnade. Serve icy cold with a lemon peel twist and something salty on the side. Serve warm with
