Cherry Mocktail
July 11th, 2025 Drink of the Week 2 comments
I made this drink up because I’ve had a jar of Cocktail Cherries in the pantry for ages that I’ve been meaning to do something with. I’m really proud of myself because it’s utterly delicious! A delicate flavour but quite treaty and very refreshing. It’s ridiculously simple and would be great to serve to guests, or make it for yourself one night because you’re worth it. I heartily recommend trying it!!
Ingredients:
Cocktail cherry juice
2 cocktail cherries
Fresh lemon juice
Fizzy water
Ice cubes
Method:
Put ice cubes into a tall glass.
Pour over 1 tbsp of liquid from a jar of cocktail cherries (also known as maraschino cherries).
Squeeze over half a lemon.
Top up with fizzy water.
Garnish with two cocktail cherries
Enjoy!
