Make A Fresh Sparkling Cherry Spritzer

Every summer those gorgeous bags full of cherries (nature’s candy!) pop up at the grocery store and, well, who can resist? After crushing them and pouring them over yogurt with vanilla for my boys or tossing them in my oatmeal…theres always quite a few extra left over. A perfect excuse to whip up a fresh sparkling cherry wine drink which makes the perfect summer cocktail!

double the fizz In with Prosecco or Champagne!

Cherry sodas and sparkling water for your cherry wine drink

For the actual spritzer I just pitted a couple of fresh, sweet red cherries and mashed them with a muddler. I spooned the crushed fruit into a wine glass and splashed in a dash of cherry-flavored soda (I usually keep La Croix or Sparkling Ice in black cherry on hand) and added ice.

Your favorite brand of flavored soda or cherry flavor sparkling water would do just fine! San Pellegrino Essenza, for example, in the dark morello cherry flavor, would work nicely in here!

That’s pretty much it! Once you do that, splash in your favorite sparkling wine or champagne to create a refreshing cherry champagne cocktail. I splashed in some Freixenet Spanish Sparkling Wine (the Brut works great). If you don’t have sparkling wine on hand, you can also simply add a dry white wine such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. This would also work with the soda and fruit.

There’s nothing better than something simple, satisfying and super easy to make! Just three ingredients for a simple cherry wine drink you can sip on all summer long…
