Sparkling Citrus Berry Punch

1.In a large pitcher, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, orange rounds, lemon rounds, lime rounds, and fresh mint leaves.

2.Pour in the simple syrup, freshly squeezed orange juice, and lemon juice. Stir gently to combine and allow the flavors to meld for at least 10 minutes.

3.Add the ice cubes to the pitcher, then pour in the cold sparkling water just before serving. Stir gently to mix without losing too much carbonation.

4.Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup if desired.

5.Serve immediately in glasses, making sure each serving gets a mix of berries and citrus slices. Garnish with extra mint leaves.
