Sparkling Tart Cherry Mocktail

Here’s a festive and health-promoting recipe for a Sparkling Tart Cherry Mocktail that is both alcohol-free and sugar-free.

As mentioned, the recipe I’m sharing today is an alcohol-free cocktail that you can serve at your New Year’s celebration. Let’s get real. Mocktails are never as fun as the real thing, but I can’t tolerate alcohol and it’s good to have something sparkly for the non-drinkers and designated drivers.

This recipe is also health promoting! Tart cherry juice has been studied for its superfood qualities, such as increasing natural melatonin in the body that helps regulate circadian rhythm which can improve sleep.

Beyond the health benefits, I just love the flavor of tart cherry and thinks it pairs really nicely with the sweet Cara Cara orange juice I used:

This recipe is so simple because you just combine the tart cherry concentrate (I like this one) with fresh orange and lime juice:

You can make the juice ahead of time and store it in an airtight glass container until you’re ready to serve:

Then, when it’s drinking time, just add equal amounts of sparkling mineral water and the concentrate to your prettiest glasses and serve (honestly, this recipe works great for sangrias, too):
