Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blackberries, plus extra for garnish

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)

1/3 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

2 cups sparkling water or club soda

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Blackberry Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, mash the fresh blackberries using a fork or a muddler until they form a chunky purée. This will release their juices, enhancing the flavor of your spritz.

    Combine Ingredients: In a pitcher, combine the mashed blackberries, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and honey or agave syrup. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

      Add Sparkling Water: Slowly pour in the sparkling water or club soda to the pitcher, stirring gently to mix without losing the bubbles. Adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or syrup.

        Serve Over Ice: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling blackberry lemon mixture over the ice.

          Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish each glass with a few additional blackberries, a slice of lemon, and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately for the best flavor and refreshing experience.
