Pop-culture vibe meets fresh fruit: think movie-night magic with a sprinkle of stardust. The trick is a bright berry base that feels special but takes minutes, then a gentle pour of bubbles for that award-winning fizz. A sugared rim turns every glass into a spotlight, while berry skewers are the paparazzi-ready accessory.
Practical tip as old as premiere night: chill everything. Cold glasses and extra-cold sparkling water mean longer-lasting bubbles and a more elegant pour—no overflow on your couture (or the couch).

Blend the base: combine 250 g mixed berries, 30 ml lemon juice, and 30 g maple/agave syrup. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds. You should have about 150–200 ml of bright berry puree.

Assemble: add a few ice cubes (optional) or a spoonful of crushed ice to each glass. Spoon in 35–40 ml berry puree per glass.

Top gently with 150 ml chilled sparkling water per glass, pouring down the side to preserve bubbles. Give one slow stir to marble the colors.

Garnish with a small skewer of berries and a mint leaf. Serve immediately while the fizz is lively.
Chef's Tip
For a perfumed twist, stir 1 ml orange blossom water into the berry base. For extra-chill without dilution, use frozen berries instead of ice.
