One of the best things about cherry juice? The antioxidants. This holiday season, cozy up with a cocktail that not only tastes good but does the body good too.
Ingredients:
1.5 ounces cherry juice
1.5 ounces Plymouth gin
3/4 fresh lemon juice
3/4 ounces simple syrup
1 ounces sparkling wine (Prosecco, Cava, Champagne)
Directions:
Combine gin, cherry juice, lemon juice and simple syrup in cocktail shaker. Shake with ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Float sparkling wine on top. Can be served as a martini or on the rocks. Use a vegetable peeler to cut a strip of lemon zest- squeeze oil over top of cocktail and place garnish decoratively.
