Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Minty Lemonade Fizz

In a large pitcher, pour in freshly squeezed lemon juice and add chopped mint leaves along with granulated sugar. Stir the mixture well for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar completely dissolves.
Gently pour in chilled sparkling water to the pitcher with your lemon-mint mixture. Stir carefully for about 30 seconds to combine the ingredients without losing the fizz.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes to create a delightful chilled presentation.
Pour the sparkling lemonade over the ice-filled glasses, filling about three-quarters full. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a thin slice of lemon.
Serve immediately to enjoy its effervescence.
Feel free to customize by adding sliced strawberries, raspberries, or cucumber slices for an extra refreshing twist.
