Notes
Chill all ingredients before mixing for maximum refreshment. Stir gently after adding sparkling lemonade to preserve bubbles. Prep garnishes ahead for quick assembly. For low-sugar, use diet lemonade and sugar-free syrup. Make the base ahead and add sparkling lemonade and garnishes just before serving. For adults, add vodka, gin, or prosecco. If berries are an allergen, substitute watermelon or apple slices.
