BERRY ANTIOXIDANT FIZZ

The berry antioxidant fizz is a refreshing and nutrient-packed drink that combines the vibrant flavours of mixed berries with the crisp tang of fresh lemon juice and the effervescence of sparkling water. Bursting with natural antioxidants, this drink not only hydrates but also helps support overall wellness by providing essential vitamins and minerals. The berries offer a natural sweetness while delivering powerful flavonoids that support heart health and reduce inflammation. The tartness of the lemon balances the drink beautifully and the sparkling water adds a fizzy, uplifting element that makes this an excellent alternative to sugary sodas. Whether enjoyed as a refreshing midday drink, a pre-workout hydration boost, or a fun, non-alcoholic party beverage, this berry antioxidant fizz is a delicious way to enjoy the goodness of fruit in a light and bubbly format.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this berry antioxidant fizz.

  • Use Fresh Or Frozen Berries: Fresh berries provide the best flavour, but frozen berries can be used for an extra chilled drink.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup.
  • Enhance The Fizz: Add the sparkling water just before serving to retain maximum effervescence.
  • Keep It Cool: Chill the sparkling water in advance for an even more refreshing experience.
  • Boost The Flavour: Let the berries and lemon juice sit together for 5–10 minutes before adding the sparkling water to enhance the infusion.
  • Create A Layered Effect: Add the sparkling water gently over the back of a spoon to create a visually appealing gradient effect in the drink.

VARIATIONS

  • Herbal Infusion: Add fresh mint or basil leaves for an aromatic twist.
  • Citrus Blend: Swap lemon juice for lime juice for a slightly different citrus profile.
  • Tropical Flair: Add a splash of coconut water for a subtle tropical taste.
  • Berry Mix-Up: Experiment with blackberries or cranberries for unique flavour variations.
  • Ginger Kick: Stir in a teaspoon of grated ginger for a spicy, digestion-boosting twist.
  • Frozen Slushie: Blend the ingredients with ice for a frozen, smoothie-like version.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Best consumed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 hours.
  • Freezing: Make berry-lemon ice cubes by freezing muddled berries and lemon juice for future use.
  • Batch Preparation: Prepare a large pitcher without the sparkling water and refrigerate, adding the bubbles just before serving.
  • On-The-Go: Store in a sealed bottle and shake before drinking to redistribute flavours.
