cherry lime gin rickey.
I am a sucker for a good ole’ cocktail. The only problem with cocktails there can be a lot of hidden calories and sugar. This cocktail is a great “skinny” alternative to a regular cocktail. The difference between this cocktail and other cocktails is other cocktails usually contain refined sugar. This recipe contains natural sources of sugar from fruit.
This cherry lime gin rickey contains 4 simple ingredients. I believe that the more simple a cocktail is, the better. The lime helps bring out the bold flavor in the cherry and the cherry helps bring out the strong zesty kick from the lime. The soda water is there as a buffer to smooth everything out so it isn’t too overpowering.
This is a great summer cocktail that is extremely refreshing! I made this cherry lime gin rickey the other night when it reached 95 degrees F in Denver and it was perfect. Cocktails can leave you feeling extremely full, but this drink left me feeling light and refreshed.
tart cherry concentrate i use.
Let’s talk tart cherry. First off, I am really sorry if you are annoyed with me and cherries. I have a problem.. I know! Cherries just have so many benefits and they taste downright delicious. Not only will you be enjoying a nice cocktail, but you will be fueling your body with antioxidants and Anthocyanins (which supports cardiovascular health).
For this recipe, I used Purium’s Apothe-Cherry. I have been using their tart cherry for over 9 months now and I have noticed an enormous difference in my sleep. Purium’s Apothe-Cherry is an extract that condenses the nutritional potency of approximately 30 sour/ tart cherries into 1 oz of concentrate. The only ingredient is sour/ tart cherry extract. It is gluten-free, vegan, and Non-GMO project verified.
