Recipe Steps

Use a citrus juicer to make about one cup of orange juice (you’ll need about three medium oranges). Use the juicer to also juice two limes.

Step Two

In a pitcher, combine the citrus juices and tart cherry juice. Then, when you’re ready to serve, divide your ice between two cocktail glasses.

Divide the citrus mixture between your glasses, and then top each glass with sparkling water. Stir to combine and serve right away while the water is still fizzy.
