For those times when you want to sip on a non-alcoholic drink or cool off with a refreshing beverage, this sparkling herbal cherry-ginger refresher is my new favorite pick! It provides the satisfaction of a craft cocktail—but without the alcohol, of course. The highlight: You’ll get a double dose of cherry goodness!

You won’t find artificially-colored, artificially-flavored maraschino cherries here. Instead, I used Bordeaux cherries which do not contain artificial ingredients of any kind! They’re an absolutely perfect pick from the Pacific Northwest and harvested by independent family farms.

For the beverage, you’ll muddle the Bordeaux maraschino cherries—plus you’ll use some of the cherry juice. If your tastebuds are anything like mine, you’ll appreciate the pure cherry sweetness that’s balanced by fresh mint, zingy ginger, a bright splash of lemon juice, and just-right fizziness from seltzer. Cheers!

Disclosure: I teamed up with Oregon Cherry Growers, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Coast Producers, to bring you this non-alcoholic beverage featuring Bordeaux Maraschino Cherries.
