How to Make It
Step 1
Add frozen mixed berries to a small pot, then fill the pot with about ½” of water. Bring the pot to a simmer on the stove until the berries become super soft and can be broken down with a wooden spoon. Remove the pot from the heat, pour the ingredients into a blender, and blend the berries and water until everything is macerated.
Step 2
Pour the berry puree through a strainer into the pot you used before. Return the pot of berry puree to your stove, and stir lime juice and liquid stevia into the puree. Bring the puree to a simmer and reduce it until it is a thickened liquid syrup.
Step 3
You’ll need to transfer the hot syrup to your refrigerator or freezer to chill before making a soda with it. Smaller amounts of syrup can take as little as 30 minutes to cool. Once the syrup is cooled, make one soda by pouring one tablespoon of syrup into the bottom of a glass. Stir one tablespoon of heavy cream into the syrup.
Step 4
Gently pour 6-8 fluid ounces of lime-flavored sparkling water into the glass, being careful not to let the fizzy bubbles pour out of the glass and make a mess. Once the bubbles have settled, top off the soda with about two tablespoons of plain whipped cream. Pierce through the cream with a straw into the soda, and gently stir the soda if needed.
