Finding summer drinks that tastes just as good as both a mocktail & a cocktail can be a struggle. This Dark Cherry Hugo Spritz blends tangy sweet cherries with floral elderflower and nostalgic limeade for a drink that hits however you choose to make it.
Why You’ll Love this Cherry Spritz
- Summer is spritz season for a reason! This is a super refreshing & light drink to add into your summer drink rotation. This of it as cherry limeade, but make it chic.
- Looks gorgeous to serve. That deep ruby color is a total showstopper, especially with the right rim and garnishes.
- Cherry Mocktail or Cherry Cocktail? Your choice. It’s equally refreshing either way & only takes a few ingredients to make.
