What You’ll Need

2 oz cherry juice (fresh or store-bought)

½ oz fresh lemon juice
½ oz honey syrup (honey mixed with warm water)
2-3 oz sparkling water (for that fizz!)
Ice cubes

For Garnish:

Thin cherry slices

Pro Tips

Use fresh cherry juice! It gives the best natural sweetness and color.
Want it sweeter? Add an extra ½ oz of honey syrup.
No elderflower liqueur? Swap it for a splash of orange liqueur or simple syrup.
Make it non-alcoholic! Skip the gin and add more sparkling water + a splash of white grape juice.
For extra chill, freeze cherries and use them as ice cubes!

Tall glass
Measuring jigger

Substitutions & Variations
