Prepare the Simple Syrup
In a saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water (1:1 ratio). Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow to cool before using.

Squeeze fresh lemons, limes, or oranges to extract juice. Strain the juice to remove any pulp or seeds.

3
Combine Base Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine 4 cups of sparkling water, 1 cup of simple syrup, and 1 cup of fresh fruit juice. Stir well to mix all ingredients together.
4
Add Flavor Enhancements
Add a bunch of fresh mint leaves and 1 cup of chopped fresh fruit to the pitcher. Stir gently to incorporate the flavors.
5
Finish with Club Soda
Just before serving, add 2 cups of club soda to the mixture for extra fizz. Stir gently to combine.

6
Prepare the Glasses
Fill each glass with ice cubes and a wedge of lime.
