## 🥣 How to Make Sparkling Berry Punch

### 1. **Prep the Berries**

Wash and slice the strawberries if using. Leave other berries whole. You can also freeze some berries in advance to use as natural “ice cubes.”

### 2. **Mix the Juices**

In a large punch bowl or pitcher, pour in the cranberry juice and orange juice. Stir to combine.

### 3. **Add the Bubbles**

Right before serving, pour in the lemon-lime soda or sparkling water. Stir gently to keep the fizz.

### 4. **Add the Berries and Ice**

Toss in your fresh (or frozen) berries and a handful of ice cubes. Add mint or citrus slices for a festive touch.

### 5. **Serve and Enjoy**

Ladle into glasses or serve from a dispenser. Don’t forget the garnishes for that Instagram-worthy presentation!
