- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 cups Mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (optional for popsicles)

Instructions
1. To make the Strawberry Lime Sparkler: Blend 1 cup of strawberries, lime juice, honey, and 1/2 cup of sparkling water in a blender until smooth.
2. Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp, then pour it into a pitcher.
3. Add the remaining sparkling water and stir to combine.
4. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the sparkler mixture over the ice, and garnish with a strawberry slice or lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately.
5. To make the mixed berry popsicles: Combine the mixed berries, 1 cup of strawberries, and 1 tablespoon of honey in the blender. Blend until smooth.
6. If desired, swirl Greek yogurt into the berry mixture for a creamy popsicle. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top.
7. Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
8. To release the popsicles, run the molds briefly under warm water and gently pull out the frozen treats.
9. Serve and enjoy the sparkling drink alongside the berry popsicles for a refreshing combo!
