Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed wild berries
- 1 oz honey
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 1 cup sparkling water
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of mixed wild berries, 1 oz of honey, 1 oz of lemon juice, 1 cup of sparkling water, and fresh mint leaves for garnish.
- Rinse the mixed wild berries under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Drain them well and set them aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey and lemon juice. Stir the mixture until the honey is fully dissolved in the lemon juice, creating a smooth syrup.
- In a serving glass, add the rinsed wild berries. You can gently mash them with a fork to release some of their juices if desired, but this is optional.
- Pour the honey-lemon mixture over the wild berries in the glass, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Slowly add the sparkling water to the glass, pouring gently to avoid excessive fizzing. Stir lightly to combine all the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
- Garnish your Wild Berry Energy Cocktail with fresh mint leaves. You can either place a few leaves on top or gently bruise them to release their aroma before adding.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Wild Berry Energy Cocktail!
Tips
- Berry Selection: Use a mix of fresh, ripe wild berries for the most intense flavor. Frozen berries can work too, but thaw them completely and drain excess liquid.
- Honey Hack: For easier mixing, slightly warm the honey before combining it with lemon juice. This helps it dissolve more smoothly.
- Sparkling Water Strategy: Use chilled sparkling water and pour it gently to maintain maximum carbonation and prevent excessive fizzing.
- Mint Mastery: Gently bruise mint leaves between your fingers before adding to release their essential oils and enhance the drink's aromatic profile.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra fancy presentation, use a clear glass to showcase the beautiful berry colors and garnish with a mint sprig.
- Temperature Tip: Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the drink at its freshest and most effervescent state.
