Cherry Amore

Deep, juicy, a little mysterious.

Tart cherry, ripe plum, and a bittersweet edge.
It’s layered, slightly moody, and just indulgent enough.

The kind of drink you linger over.

Ingredients

For the drink

• 3 oz Libby sparkling white

• 2 oz non-alcoholic aperitif (like Ghia)
  

• 1 oz tart cherry juice
  

• ½ ripe plum
  

• Ice
  

For garnish

• 1 cherry
  
  

Instructions

1. Slice + prep
   Cut the plum into wedges, then chop into smaller pieces for muddling.
   
   
2. Build your base
   Add plum and tart cherry juice to a glass.
   Gently muddle to release the juices and deepen the color.
   
   
3. Add the aperitif
   Pour in the non-alcoholic aperitif and give it a quick stir to combine.
   
   
4. Add ice + finish
   Fill the glass with ice, then top with Libby sparkling white.
   
   
5. Garnish + serve
   Finish with a cherry on top and serve immediately.
   
   

Pro Tip

Use a ripe, slightly soft plum for the best flavor. If it’s underripe, muddle a little longer to help it break down and release its juices.

What You’ll Taste

• Tart cherry leading the way

Make It Yours

• Swap plum for blackberries for a deeper, jammy variation
  

• Add a splash of orange juice for a brighter edge
  

• Use a large ice cube for a slower dilution
  
  

When It Hits

• Date nights at home
  

• Slow evenings that turn into one more glass
