Cherry Berry Fizz Mocktail

Bye-bye to boring bubbly water, hello to the Cherry Berry Fizz! This vibrant, sophisticated mocktail expertly balances deep, antioxidant-rich fruit with a refreshing, zesty warmth. The base of tart cherry and pomegranate creates a rich, dark fruit foundation, beautifully contrasted by the bright acidity of fresh lime and the zesty kick of pressed ginger. A dash of apple cider vinegar and muddled mint leaves add a functional, refreshing layer, making this drink satisfyingly complex and invigorating!

Ingredients

  • 2 oz tart cherry juice

  • 1.5 oz pomegranate juice

  • 3 blackberries

  • ½ oz lime juice

  • 1-inch ginger knob, pressed

  • ½ tsp apple cider vinegar

  • 5 mint leaves

  • 1-2 ounces of your favorite sparkling beverage

  • Garnish with mint sprigs or candied ginger

Instructions

1. In a sturdy cocktail glass, combine the blackberries, fresh mint leaves, pressed ginger, and lime juice. Gently muddle them together until the berries are broken down and the mint is fragrant.

2. Pour in the tart cherry juice, pomegranate juice, and apple cider vinegar and stir well.

3. Fill the glass with fresh ice.

4. Top off with sparkling water or your favorite sparkling beverage for the perfect fizz.

5. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig, a candied ginger slice, or a few extra blackberries. Enjoy immediately!

Note: Use plain sparkling water for a less sweet, more tart version. To add sweetness, try a flavored probiotic soda like Olipop Ginger Ale. For an extra zing, try a flavored kombucha, like Healthade Pomegranate Blueberry.
