This bright, fizzy Holiday Berry Blast Mocktail mixes fresh berries, lime, mint, and sparkling water for a tart-sweet, non-alcoholic drink that’s as festive as it is refreshing.

6-8fresh mint leaves
1cupsparkling water or club soda
Ice cubes
Lime wedge and fresh mint sprigfor garnish
Instructions
Toss berries into a cocktail shaker with mint leaves and lime juice. Gently muddle to release juices.
Add sweetener and fill shaker with ice. Shake lightly to mix but keep bubbles intact.
Strain into a tall glass packed with fresh ice.
Top with sparkling water or club soda and stir gently. Garnish with lime wedge, mint sprig, or extra berries.
Notes
Use whatever berries you have on hand—adjust sweetness for ripeness. Serve immediately for best fizz. Don’t over-muddle mint or it gets bitter. Wait to add sparkling water until ready to serve.
