Instructions
Prepare the fruits: Wash all the fruits thoroughly. Slice the lemon and lime into thin rounds. Halve the strawberries if using.
Muddle the mint: Gently crush the mint leaves in your hands to release their aroma before adding them to the drink.
Assemble the drink: In a large pitcher, add the sliced lemon, lime, mixed berries, and crushed mint leaves.
Add ice: Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to keep the drink chilled.
Pour sparkling water: Slowly pour the sparkling water into the pitcher to avoid excessive fizzing.
Serve: Stir gently and serve immediately in glasses with some fruit slices and mint leaves for garnish.
Chef's Tips
- Fruit Variations: Try using cucumber slices, orange slices, or pomegranate seeds for different flavors.
- Sweetener: Add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Chilling Tip: For a more infused flavor, let the drink sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
- Herb Options: Basil or rosemary can be used instead of mint for a different herbal note.
- Presentation: Use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers of fruits and herbs.
