Tips for the best results
Muddle the mint gently — press to release the oils, but don't shred it, or the drink turns bitter. Use a flavored sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for the fizz, and add it last so it stays bubbly. Plenty of ice keeps everything crisp and cold.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make a pitcher? Yes — muddle the berries and mint in the bottom of a pitcher, scale everything up, and add the bubbles just before serving.
What can I use instead of simple syrup? Honey, agave, or a flavored syrup all work. Adjust to how sweet your soda is.
How do I keep it from going flat? Add the sparkling element last and serve right away over plenty of ice.
