2 oz tart cherry juice
Sparkling mineral water

½ lime
6–8 mint leaves

Method

Fill a rocks glass with ice. Add cherry juice and lime. Slap the mint once between your palms, drop it in, then top with sparkling water. Add more sparkling water to taste.

Try another way

Use basil instead of mint If basil is already out for dinner.

Add a few cucumber slices If there's half a cucumber left.

Muddle a ripe peach slice with the lime If the peaches are especially ripe.

Add more sparkling water If you want something lighter.
