One thing a good host knows how to do is dress up their guests’ drinks, even if it’s just water. At the rehearsal dinner for my wedding, my mother-in-law had large pitchers filled with water and citrus slices. It looked so pretty and tasted very refreshing. This sparkling lemon berry water is another simple way to beautify and enhance your water pitchers at an elegant outdoor gathering.
2 liters sparkling water, chilled
2 cups frozen berries (raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries)
2 lemons, sliced in ¼-inch rounds
Combine the sparkling water, berries, and lemon slices in a 4-quart pitcher. Serve chilled.
MAKES 6 SERVINGS.
TIP: Using frozen berries keeps the water chilled without using ice cubes.
