Ingredients
  

2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 3-4 medium oranges)

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 3-4 medium lemons)

1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

4 cups sparkling water or club soda

2 cups ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Citrus slices (orange and lemon) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Berries: Thoroughly rinse the mixed berries under cold water. For strawberries, remove the green tops (hull) and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even distribution.

    Juicing: Squeeze the juice from the oranges and lemons into a measuring cup. Make sure to strain out any seeds to keep your punch smooth.

      Mix the Base: In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, and your chosen sweetener (honey or agave syrup). Stir vigorously until the sweetener is completely dissolved, creating a balanced juice base.

        Add the Berries: Carefully fold the mixed berries into the juice mixture. Allow the berries to sit in the juice for about 5-10 minutes, enabling them to infuse their delicious flavors.

          Combine with Sparkling Water: Right before serving, gently stir in the sparkling water or club soda to the berry juice mixture. Take care to mix gently to maintain the bubbles and effervescence.

            Serve Over Ice: Fill each glass or punch cup with ice cubes, then pour the Berry Citrus Sparkling Punch over the ice for a refreshing chill.

              Garnish: Enhance the visual appeal and aroma by adding fresh mint leaves and colorful citrus slices to each glass.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately and indulge in this vibrant and refreshing punch, perfect for gatherings or festive occasions with friends and family!
