- Step 2: Add 1 cup sparkling water to the pitcher, stirring gently to combine without losing carbonation, then add 2 fresh lemon slices.
- Step 3: Chill the pitcher for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld, then strain into a glass filled with ice, discarding the berry solids, and serve immediately.
