Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large pitcher, combine 2 cups chilled sparkling water, 1/2 cup pomegranate juice, and 3 tbsp lime juice, then gently stir to mix without losing carbonation.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/4 cup muddled fresh mint and 2 tbsp blueberry syrup to the pitcher, stirring slowly for 30 seconds until the syrup dissolves and the mixture turns deep purple.
  3. Step 3: Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into chilled glasses, adding 1/2 tsp edible glitter to each glass just before serving to create shimmering, fizzy specks that dance as you sip.
