Ingredients
  

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)

1 cup cranberry juice

1/2 cup lemon-lime soda (or soda water for a less sweet option)

1/2 cup sparkling water

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes

Orange and lemon slices for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Berries: Rinse the mixed berries thoroughly. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into halves or quarters depending on your preference. Leave blueberries and raspberries whole.

    Mix the Juices: In a large pitcher, combine the orange juice and cranberry juice. Stir well to blend the two juices together. If you prefer a sweeter punch, stir in the honey or agave syrup until fully dissolved.

      Add Berries: Gently add the prepared mixed berries into the juice mixture. This will allow them to infuse the punch with their flavors while also providing a beautiful visual appeal.

        Chill: To enhance the flavor, refrigerate the berry-citrus mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the berries to infuse into the juices.

          Combine with Sparkling Elements: Just before serving, add the lemon-lime soda and sparkling water to the chilled juice and berry mixture. Stir gently to combine without losing too much carbonation.

            Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the berry citrus sparkling punch over the ice.

              Garnish: Add a few fresh mint leaves and slices of orange and lemon to each glass for a vibrant touch and an extra burst of flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing and bubbly taste of your Berry Citrus Sparkling Punch!
