Ingredients
  

Core Ingredients
  • 2 cups mixed fresh or frozen fruit berries, citrus, stone fruits, or tropical fruits; frozen berries often work better than expensive out-of-season fresh ones
  • 1/4 cup fresh citrus juice lemon and lime are most versatile; adds essential acidity that balances sweetness
  • 2-3 tablespoons simple syrup or honey sweetens the drink smoothly; granulated sugar doesn't dissolve well in cold liquids
  • 2 cups sparkling water or club soda creates effervescence

Equipment

  • cocktail shaker or mason jar
  • measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients: fresh or frozen fruit, citrus juice, simple syrup or honey, and sparkling water

  1. Add the fresh citrus juice and simple syrup or honey to the muddled fruit
