This vibrant drink is everything a warm-weather spritzer should be — jewel-toned, lightly tart, and refreshingly fizzy. The homemade hibiscus-berry concentrate is simmered low and slow with dried hibiscus flowers and fresh or frozen mixed berries, pulling out a deep, ruby-red color and a flavor that's floral, fruity, and just a little tangy. A touch of honey rounds out the tartness, while fresh lime juice keeps things bright and lively. Once the concentrate is chilled and poured over ice with sparkling water, the result is a drink that looks stunning and tastes even better. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from celery and celery derivatives — no hidden seasonings, no store-bought shortcuts that might sneak in unwanted extras. Fresh mint and lime slices make for a gorgeous garnish if you want to dress it up for guests. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you may want to double the batch.
