There’s something magical about making a drink together, isn’t there? Especially one that feels like summer in a glass.

It’s packed with fresh berries, a splash of lemonade, and a bubbly kick, making it perfect for any warm afternoon or festive gathering.

Our Love for Berries

Berries have been woven into our family traditions for as long as we can remember. Growing up, every summer, we’d pile into the car and head to the local berry farm to pick strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries by the bucketful. We’d come home with berry-stained fingers, baskets full of sweet-smelling fruit, and big plans for pies, jams, and, of course, berry-based drinks.

So, when we set out to create a drink that was bright, refreshing, and just a little bit nostalgic, berries were a no-brainer. There’s something about their vibrant colors and flavors that makes us feel like kids again, even as we clink our glasses and sip a sophisticated mocktail.

A Little Background on Berries

Did you know that berries are some of the oldest fruits cultivated by humans? They’ve been cherished for centuries, not just for their sweet taste but also for their health benefits. Berries like strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are antioxidant powerhouses, packed with vitamins and fiber, making this drink as nutritious as it is delicious.

For us, berries are a reminder of sunny summer days, simpler times, and the joys of gathering together. They add such a pop of color and flavor to any recipe, and in this Berry Lemonade Spritz, they’re the stars of the show.
