Ingredients
  

2 cups mixed berries (a combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1 cup fresh orange juice (approximately 3-4 medium oranges)

1 cup fresh lemon juice (approximately 3-4 medium lemons)

1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

4 cups sparkling water or club soda

2 cups ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Slices of orange and lemon for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Berries: Start by rinsing the mixed berries under cold running water. For strawberries, hull them (remove the green tops) and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set aside.

    Juicing the Citrus Fruits: Squeeze the juice from the oranges and lemons into a measuring cup, ensuring to catch any seeds. You should aim for a smooth, seedless juice.

      Mix the Base: In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, and honey or agave syrup. Using a whisk or a spoon, stir vigorously until the sweetener is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

        Incorporate the Berries: Gently fold in the prepared mixed berries into the citrus juice mixture. Allow the berries to sit in the juice for about 5-10 minutes to infuse their delightful flavors.

          Combine with Sparkling Water: Just prior to serving, carefully stir in the sparkling water or club soda to the juice and berry mixture. Take care to mix gently to preserve the bubbles and fizz.

            Serve Over Ice: Fill each serving glass or punch cup with ice cubes. Pour the Berry Citrus Sparkling Punch over the ice until the glass is filled.

              Add Garnishes: For an extra touch of freshness and visual appeal, add a few fresh mint leaves and a slice of citrus (orange or lemon) to each glass.

                Enjoy Your Refreshing Drink: Serve immediately and savor the refreshing, vibrant flavors of this Berry Citrus Sparkling Punch with friends and family!
