Step 2: Add the vanilla extract and grated ginger (if using) to enhance the flavor.
Step 3: Gently pour in the sparkling water or club soda to keep the drink fizzy; stir carefully to combine.
Step 4: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling mixture over the ice.
Step 5: Garnish each glass with fresh fruit slices and herbs for a beautiful presentation and extra flavor.
Step 6: Serve immediately for the best sparkling effect, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for a chilled, refreshing experience.
💡 Pro Tips:
🧂• For a DIY flavored sparkling water, mash some fresh berries or citrus zest into the juice before mixing.
🧂• To make a non-alcoholic version, skip any spirits and focus on fruit juices and herbs.
🧂• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but note that the bubbles may dissipate.
🧂• Feel free to experiment with different fruit combinations or add a splash of flavored syrup for extra sweetness.
