Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blackberries

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Juice of 1 lemon

2 cups sparkling water (chilled)

1 cup lemon-lime soda (chilled, optional for sweetness)

Ice cubes

Lemon slices (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Macerate the Blackberries: In a small bowl, combine the fresh blackberries and granulated sugar. Gently mash them with a fork to release their juices. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Prepare the Lemon Base: In a separate pitcher, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the blackberry mixture. Stir well to combine the flavors.

      Combine with Sparkling Water: Slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water, stirring gently to mix. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add the lemon-lime soda at this point, stirring softly.

        Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling blackberry lemon mixture over the ice, filling each glass about three-quarters full.

          Garnish: Add a lemon slice to the rim of each glass and drop a few fresh mint leaves into the drink for an aromatic touch.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately while it's still bubbly and refreshing!
