How to Make Homemade Brez Drink

The Brez drink is quick and fun to make, using just a few simple ingredients. For the flavor base, begin with the juice of a fruit such as cranberry, pineapple, or mango. Top with a spritz of sparkling water or soda for fizz, and stir in a sweetener, like simple syrup or honey, if needed. For a little kick, add fresh fruit slices, herbs, or a splash of lime juice. Gently stir to combine and serve over ice in a tall glass. Add your favorite fruits or herbs for an added touch of elegance.
