Ingredient Notes

For this recipe, I went with all-star ingredients that are easy to find and won’t break the bank! Here’s a quick rundown with some tips and tricks:

Blueberries: Fresh or frozen, it’s totally up to you! If you’re using frozen berries, don’t thaw them all the way. We want some icy chunks for a refreshing coolness that’ll rival a summer breeze.
Peaches: Nice and ripe peaches are the dream, but if yours are a little firm, don’t fret! Just chop them up and let them sit for 10 minutes or so. This coaxes out all their sweet, juicy goodness.
Hibiscus Tea: You can find dried hibiscus flowers at most grocery stores or specialty shops. If you’re short on time, pre-made hibiscus tea (unsweetened is best) works like a charm. Just brew it according to the package instructions and adjust the strength to your taste. Remember, stronger is always easier to dilute with water later if needed.
Sparkling Water: Club soda is a classic choice, but flavored sparkling water adds another layer of fun! Pick a flavor that complements the fruit, like peach or blueberry.
Sweetener (Optional): This spritzer is naturally sweet from the fruit, but if you crave a little extra, agave nectar or simple syrup are your best bets. Here’s my motto: start with a little and taste as you go. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away!

Step-by-Step Instructions for Blueberry Peach Hibiscus Spritzer

Muddle Much? In a pitcher, grab a muddler (or a spoon in a pinch!) and get ready to mash some fruit! Muddle together 1/2 cup of your blueberries (fresh or frozen) and 1/2 cup of chopped peaches. Release all those delicious juices.
Straining for Perfection: Separate the liquid gold from the pulp. Pour the fruit mixture through a strainer into your pitcher, leaving the pulp behind.
Tea Time! Pour in 2 cups of your chilled hibiscus tea. Remember, strong or mild, it’s up to you. If you steeped your own flowers and it’s super concentrated, dilute it with a splash of water until it reaches your desired tartness.
Sweeten to Your Heart’s Content: Not everyone has the same sweet tooth. Taste your spritzer and adjust the sweetness with a splash of agave nectar or simple syrup. Start with a little and add more to taste until you find your perfect balance. Add lime juice as well.
Fill your favorite glasses with ice. The more ice, the colder your drink will stay!
Now for the big bubbles! Gently pour in 1 cup of your favorite sparkling water. Club soda is a classic choice, but feel free to experiment with flavored sparkling water – just pick a flavor that complements the fruit, like peach or blueberry. Adding it last preserves those delightful bubbles.
Garnishing: No drink is complete without a little pizazz! Garnish your masterpiece with a few fresh blueberries, a slice of peach, or even a sprig of mint for an extra touch of summer flair.

Fun Facts:

Hibiscus tea is not only delicious but also boasts some potential health benefits like lowering blood pressure and aiding digestion (be sure to consult your doctor before making any dietary changes).
Blueberries are tiny titans of nutrition! They’re loaded with antioxidants, which can help protect your cells from damage. Some research even suggests they may improve brain function and memory.
Peaches are a delightful summer fruit, but they’re more than just delicious. They’re a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber. So go ahead, indulge in a guilt-free sip of sunshine!
