Sparkling Blackberry Limeade

Add blackberries to a pitcher or mixing bowl.

Gently muddle until they release their juice.

Add lime juice and honey or simple syrup.

Stir until sweetener dissolves.

For a smoother drink, strain the blackberry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer.

Fill four glasses with ice.

Divide blackberry-lime mixture among glasses.

Top each with chilled sparkling water.

Stir gently.

Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

Garnish with lime and optional mint.

Serve immediately.
