Ingredients

½ oz mixed berry syrup
3 oz apple cider
3 oz sparkling water

Mixed Berry Syrup:

12 oz frozen mixed berries
¾ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Add berry syrup and apple cider in a serving glass. Add ice and top with sparkling water. Stir before drinking.

Mixed Berry Syrup:

In a heavy bottomed sauce pot, combine frozen berries and sugar. Set over medium heat and bring a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until berries have softened and mixture is thick.
Strain mixture. Cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and keep stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Notes

Berries : You may substitute any fresh or frozen berries of your choice. I used a combination of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
Apple Cider: The labeling of “apple cider” versus “apple juice” varies from state to state. The apple cider used in this recipe refers to unfiltered apple juice. Don’t confused “apple cider” for hard cider, alcoholic apple cider, or sparkling apple cider. Those are completely different products!

Mixed berry syrup can also be used to sweeten iced teas or flavor lemonades/limeades. The berry syrup can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.
