Ingredients

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 cup sparkling water (chilled)

1 cup lemon-lime soda or tonic water (chilled)

Lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions

      Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling blackberry lemon mixture over the ice.

        Garnish each glass with lemon slices and a few fresh mint leaves for an extra refreshing touch.

          Serve immediately and enjoy your invigorating Sparkling Blackberry Lemon Spritz!
