Notes
The mocktail tastes best when served right away while the sparkling water is still fizzy.
Store extra fruit mixture without sparkling water in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Make a stronger mint flavor by muddling extra leaves with the fruits.
Replace honey with agave nectar for a vegan version.
