Scale

- 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water, plain or lightly flavored
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) cherry-flavored popping boba
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) simple syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh cherries or mint for garnish
Instructions
- Chill cherry juice and sparkling water in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Fill each glass halfway with ice cubes.
- In a mixing glass or pitcher, combine cherry juice and fresh lime juice. Stir gently.
- Add simple syrup if desired for extra sweetness and stir to combine.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of cherry popping boba into each glass.

- Slowly add sparkling water to each glass, pouring gently to keep bubbles and popping boba intact.
- Garnish with a fresh cherry or a sprig of mint and serve immediately.
Notes
Keep all ingredients and glasses chilled to maintain fizz longer. Stir gently to avoid bursting popping boba prematurely. Add popping boba last just before serving. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or skip it for a lower sugar option. Fresh lime juice is preferred over bottled or lemon juice for best flavor.
