- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups sparkling water

- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

Instructions
Follow these steps to bring a bit of that Blue Ridge magic into your own kitchen.
- Start by muddling the fresh mint leaves in a pitcher until they are bruised and fragrant. This will release their essential oils and enhance the flavor of your drink.
- Add the sparkling water to the pitcher, followed by the fresh lime juice and honey or agave syrup if using. Stir gently to combine.
- Fill glasses with crushed ice and add a few slices of cucumber and mixed berries to each glass.
- Pour the mint-lime mixture over the ice and fruits, ensuring each glass gets an even distribution of the mint leaves.
- Garnish with lemon or lime slices and a sprig of mint, then serve immediately. The key is to enjoy these drinks fresh for the best flavor experience.
