Cherry Soda Shop

Cherry and vanilla give this a soda-shop direction, but sparkling water keeps it much lighter than a creamy cherry dessert drink. Vanilla changes the aroma without adding the texture of milk or ice cream. Use it lightly so the tart cherry still tastes like fruit. Mix the juice and flavoring first, then top up. Depending on your cherry juice, the result may be more tangy than the nostalgic name suggests.

Ingredients

• 5 oz Sparkling water
• 2 oz Tart cherry juice
• 1/8 tsp Alcohol-free vanilla flavoring

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.
2. Add the still liquids and ice. Stir to combine.
3. Pour in the sparkling ingredient slowly and stir once. Serve immediately.

Benefits

Cherry and vanilla · refreshing fluids

Using cherry and vanilla turns the measured water into a drink with a deep, tangy cherry flavor. That water still counts toward your fluid intake.

A sparkling setting for vanilla

Pairing vanilla with cherry puts a sweet-smelling vanilla aroma into a fizzy glass, with bubbles making the texture part of the pleasure.
