In a medium bowl, add the berries and the ½ cup of sparkling cider. Let soak for 10 minutes. In a small bag, break half of the vanilla wafer cookies into big chunks.

Assemble each parfait as follows: ¼ crumbled wafer cookies, thin layer of sparkling cider frosting, ¼ cup soaked berries, 4 vanilla wafers, more frosting.

Garnish with raspberries, strawberries, and mint leaves as desired.

To make the sparkling cider frosting, add powdered sugar to a mixing bowl. Add the softened sticks of butter and beat on low until powdered sugar is incorporated.

Then add the sparkling cider and increase mixer speed to medium-high. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When completely mixed the frosting may appear dry. Add more sparkling cider if necessary, a little bit at a time, until frosting is the proper consistency.
