Ingredients
- 2 pieces Lime
- 1 cup Mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 6 pieces Mint leaves
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the mixed berries thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Cut one lime into thin slices for garnish and set aside. Juice the other lime and strain to remove seeds, if any. You should have about 2-3 tablespoons of lime juice.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, add the mixed berries and granulated sugar. Use a fork or muddler to gently mash the berries until they release their juices while still maintaining some texture.
Step 4
Divide the muddled berry mixture evenly between two tall glasses.
Step 5
Add the fresh lime juice to each glass. Stir gently to combine the berries and lime juice.
Step 6
Fill each glass halfway with ice cubes, and top up with sparkling water. Stir gently again to mix everything together.
Step 7
Garnish each glass with lime slices and 3 mint leaves. Optionally, sprinkle a very small pinch of salt over the top to enhance the flavors.
Step 8
Serve immediately with a straw or stir stick. Enjoy the refreshing burst of lime and berry flavors!
