Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, grapes, and mango)
- 1 cup Sparkling water
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and prep the fruits by slicing larger fruits like strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and mango into bite-sized pieces. Leave smaller fruits like blueberries and grapes whole. Place all the prepared fruits in a large serving bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the sparkling water and granulated sugar. Place it over medium heat and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Step 4
Once the syrup has cooled, pour it over the mixed fruits in the serving bowl. Gently toss the fruits to coat them evenly with the syrup.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the fruit mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled in individual dessert bowls or glasses, making sure to spoon some of the syrup over the fruits for added flavor.
