Cherry Lime Mocktail
Ingredients
- 2 oz tart cherry juice, unsweetened
- 6 oz seltzer (more or less to taste)
- Juice of 1/2 small lime
- 2 drops organic pure stevia (more or less to taste)
- 1 slice lime
- Garnishes: raspberries, blackberries, crushed pineapple, mint leaves, orange slices
Instructions
- Add desired amount of ice to the glass. Add tart cherry juice, lime juice, stevia and lime slice to the glass. Add seltzer and stir. Add garnishes.
Notes
You can substitute a sweetened sparkling beverage like Sprite or ginger ale for the seltzer. If you do, omit the stevia.
If stevia isn’t your favorite, you can use other sweeteners according to your taste.
If you want to turn this into a cocktail, 2 oz of white wine is a delicious addition.
