Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 orange, juiced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 2 cups soda water
- Mint leaves for garnish
- Orange and lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the mixed berries, orange juice, lemon juice, and honey. Stir gently to combine.
- Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, lightly mash the berries to release their juices without completely breaking them apart.
- Fill four glasses with ice cubes and divide the berry mixture evenly among the glasses.
- Top each glass with soda water, filling to the rim, and gently stir to combine.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and slices of orange and lemon before serving.
Notes
Tip: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste preference.
For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit any spirits and increase the soda water for extra fizz. You can also experiment with different types of berries based on what’s in season or your personal preference. Storage tip: If you have any leftover fizz, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but be aware that the fizz may diminish over time.
Feel free to add a splash of flavored syrup, like elderflower or raspberry, to enhance the sweetness if desired. This drink pairs beautifully with light appetizers or can be enjoyed on its own!
