Dark Cherry & Mint Gin Fizz
This fruity and refreshing beverage isn’t overly sweet thanks to the natural tartness of the cherries and fresh lime juice. A touch of honey adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the more tart flavors, while fresh mint adds a bright note to bring it all together.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dark cherries pitted (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves washed and torn
- 2 cups club soda
- 4 oz gin
Instructions
- Combine cherries, honey, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly and the cherries release their juices.
- Remove from heat. Transfer the cherry mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour into a pitcher and let cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
- Add gin, lime juice and mint leaves.
- Fill four glasses with ice then top with ¼ cup cherry puree and ½ cup club soda.
