Wash and dry all the fruits. Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves. Leave the blueberries, grapes, and pineapple chunks as they are or cut any larger pieces as needed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared fruits. Gently toss them to mix evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and lemon juice until the sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture over the fruit and gently toss to coat.
Add the fresh mint leaves to the fruit mixture, lightly tearing them for better flavor release.
Transfer the fruit mixture into a large serving bowl or divide among individual serving glasses.
Pour the sparkling water over the top of the fruit, ensuring even distribution for a fizzy effect.
Add a small handful of ice cubes to each serving to keep the fruit chilled and refreshing.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired, and enjoy the sparkling, fruity goodness!
