Equipment

  • A blender is the most essential piece of equipment. It's needed for mixing up the berries to the right texture.
  • A fine mesh strainer is also important if you want a smooth finish by removing berry seeds.
  • You'll also need a muddler or spoon to mash the berries in the blender.
  • Plus, measuring cups and spoons will help you get the right mix of ingredients.
  • Lastly, make sure you have a stirring stick for the perfect finish.
  • Don't forget glasses to serve your refreshing mocktail in! 🥤✨

Ingredients

Here's what you need:

  • 1 cup mixed berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
  • Mint leaves for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup optional for extra sweetness

I usually mix different berries to get a flavorful blend. The vanilla adds a delicious twist, and the sparkling water gives it that fizzy touch.

Instructions

  • Start by blending the berries until smooth. If you want, you can use a strainer to get a smoother juice by separating the seeds.
  • In a glass, add ice cubes and a few mint leaves.
  • Pour the berry mixture over the ice.
  • Add vanilla extract and sparkling water.
  • Stir everything gently to mix the flavors.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or agave syrup if needed.
  • Finally, stir again and garnish with extra mint leaves and whole berries on top.

Now it's ready to enjoy! Let me know how yours turns out. Cheers to a refreshing drink! 🍓🍇

    Notes

    Feel free to use any berries you have. Frozen berries work well and save prep time.
    The vanilla adds a smooth flavor, but a vanilla bean could make it even richer.
    Also, you can use flavored sparkling water if you like extra zest.
    Want a fancier look? Serve in a clear glass to show off the berry colors.
    Using fresh mint instead of dry enhances the taste.
    If there's extra, keep it in the fridge, but only for a day to ensure it stays fresh. Please share your creations or any tweaks you've made! 😊
