How long will the honey lemon simple syrup keep?

For at least a month if you store it refrigerated in a jar. I think it would also be a great addition to green tea!

Can I leave out the n/a gin if I don't have it?

For sure. If you aren't up for ordering a bottle of the Seedlip, just leave it out. I do recommend it though since it adds a great botanical flavor and there are so few ingredients.

Does seltzer work in place of the club soda?

Yes! As with all of my cocktail/mocktail recipes, you can always sub seltzer if it's what you have. I just find it can give drinks a slightly watered down taste so I prefer club soda for the bubbles when possible.

This Tom Collins mocktail is made perfectly bright and sweet with a honey lemon simple syrup. Just as enjoyable as the original but without the alcohol.

Make the simple syrup: combine 1/2 cup each honey and water in a small saucepan over medium low. Stir occasionally and remove from heat once well combined and viscous. Add a few lemon peels (I just used a peeler to pull off the yellow part of the lemon I used for the juice). Remove from heat, let stand until cooled completely. Remove lemon and pour into a small jar. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to one month.
