Notes

Storage & Reheating:
This mocktail is best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The sparkling water may lose its fizz, so consider adding more just before serving if desired.
Variations:
- Swap fresh raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a different fruity flavor.
- Add a splash of lime juice for an extra citrusy twist.
- Use flavored sparkling water, such as lemon or berry, for added flavor.
- Substitute fresh mint with basil for a unique herbal note.
