1 recipe Raspberry Brittle (recipe follows)

In a medium punch bowl combine raspberry- or blackberry-flavored sparkling water, sparkling grape juice or cider, and citrus- or tropical-flavored sparkling water. Top with some chunks of Raspberry Brittle. Serve each glass of punch with a piece of the Raspberry Brittle.

Raspberry Brittle: Pour 1 cup water into bottom of 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan with sides (or use a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan). Sprinkle surface of water evenly with about 1/2 cup of edible flowers (such as marigolds, calendula, violas, pansies, or dianthus). Sprinkle surface of water evenly with 1 cup fresh raspberries or other fresh fruit. Freeze 3 hours or overnight. To unmold, allow to stand at room temperature 5 or 10 minutes or until ice can be removed. Remove from pan and break into large chunks. Place in punch just before serving.

Make-Ahead Tip: The day before, prepare Raspberry Brittle.
