# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels festive without needing elaborate prep, and you'll taste summer in every glass.
  • The gentle sparkle makes it perfect for both casual hangs and little celebrations.
02 -
  • Once, I blended the fruit too early and it lost its zing—make sure to blend just before serving for freshest flavor.
  • The dramatic difference between straining and not straining the puree is real: the smoother version makes for a more elegant sip, especially with guests.
03 -
  • Never add sparkling water until just before serving; it's the only way to keep those bubbles lively.
  • Straining the fruit turns a casual drink into something worthy of guests—the texture changes everything.
