Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender, puree 2 cups mixed berries until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove seeds, reserving 1 cup of berry puree.
- Step 2: In the pitcher, combine 1 cup lemonade, 1 cup apple juice, 1/2 cup lime juice, and 1/4 cup honey, whisking until the honey fully dissolves and the mixture is clear.
- Step 3: Stir in the 1 cup berry puree until the color is uniform and vibrant, then gently fold in 4 cups chilled club soda to preserve bubbles.
- Step 4: Add 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, swirling the mixture to release their aroma without bruising the leaves.
- Step 5: Chill for 30 minutes to allow the mint flavor to infuse, then serve over ice with extra mint sprigs.
