    How do I make a tart cherry spritzer with cherry concentrate?

    pouring sparkling water into cherry juice in a glass

    Start by grabbing the glass you plan on drinking this spritzer out of. Pour tart cherry juice concentrate into it. Follow that with your favorite sparkling water (I recommend plain or citrus), and then squeeze lime juice into it. Stir and you're good to go!

    Substitutions/Tips

    • Use plain sparkling water or citrus flavored for this drink.
    • Play around with proportions, want it extra cherry-ey? Add just a bit more tart cherry concentrate. Squeeze in as much lime juice as you'd like.
    • Is it a bit too tart for you? Add a bit of sugar to your tart cherry juice spritzer to make the perfect tart cherry mocktail.
    • This drink is really easy to make lots of servings of. Just mix it all together in a big jug and taste to make sure it's good!

    FAQ

    Can you drink tart cherry juice concentrate straight?

    You can drink it straight, but it is really delicious with lime juice and sparkling water added like in this cherry juice spritzer drink.

    Is it safe to drink tart cherry juice everyday?

    As far as I know, it is safe to drink it everyday. While I don't know exactly how much you should drink, I would assume that if you drink 1 cup or less (or the equivalent of tart cherry juice concentrate) each day, you'll be fine. 

    What are tart cherry juice benefits?

    From a nutrition perspective, Montmorency tart cherries have lots of anthocyanins, which potentially have effects on our sleep, exercise recovery, arthritis, gout, heart health, and gut health.

    It's worth trying something with so many health benefits! And it's worth continuing to include tart cherries into your eating patterns because they're delicious! Pour tart cherry concentrate over frozen greek yogurt or ice cream.

    What can I make with leftover ingredients?

    • Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate: No Churn Tart Cherry Frozen Yogurt.
    • Sparkling Water: Pomegranate Lime Spritzer, Starbucks Copycat Passion Tea Lemonade
    • Lime Juice: Flat Iron Steak Fajitas, Easy Guacamole.

      This is my kind of drink. I grew up in Poland and tart cherries were very popular there. I actually prefer them over the sweet cherries. This summer I got super excited when I found tart cherries on my local farmers market. They are so good!

      I adore sour cherries and I would definitely give this Spritzer a try. It would be also great for the holidays for those who don't drink.

      I deal with inflammation and just learned from my neighborhood health store that tart cherry deals with inflammation. I bought a bottle and live the juice. I’m now loving the creative ways to I can use the juice to make great tasting beverages. Salute!
