Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by placing 1 cup of ripe blackberries in a blender. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until you achieve a smooth consistency. Use a fine mesh strainer over a bowl to extract the juice while leaving the seeds behind.
In a pitcher, combine the freshly strained blackberry juice with ½ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and sweetener. Stir well until fully dissolved and adjust sweetness if necessary.
Gently pour in 1 to 2 cups of sparkling water into the pitcher, mixing carefully to maintain the bubbles.
Prepare your serving glasses by filling each with ice cubes. Pour the blackberry lemon mixture over the ice.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing flavors!
