as the weather continuously heats up, we're gonna need a lot of summer cocktails to keep us cool! this one is for the cherry lovers. it is simple, healthy & so refreshing. if you aren't familiar with cherry juice, you can find it in the natural section of your grocery store. it contains no added sugars, just 100% pressed black cherries. it seriously taste like biting into the best summer cherry!
to add a touch of fiz (because every drink needs some fiz) i mixed equal parts cherry juice & zevia's black cherry soda. the cherry juice is quite concentrated, so this helps dilute it. zevia's soda is naturally sweetened with stevia, making it zero calories & no added sugar. i love when drinks (like sangria) include fresh fruit too, so i garnished it with fresh blackberries. feel free to use which ever berries are your favourite! cherries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries or raspberries will all work for this cherry berry spritzer.
cheers! xo
