👩‍🍳 How to Make Christmas Cherry Fizz Mocktail

Step 1: Prep the Glass

Fill both glasses with ice cubes. Add a few mint leaves for extra freshness.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a cup or jar, stir together the cherry juice, lemon juice, and honey. I like to mix the honey first so it melts into the juice smoothly.

Step 3: Add the Fizz

Pour the mixture over the ice, filling each glass halfway. Top it off with soda water. Pour slowly so you keep the bubbles.

Step 4: Add Garnish

Drop in a cherry or two and slide a lemon slice on the rim. It adds that classic Christmas look.

Step 5: Serve

Give the drink one gentle stir and enjoy the fizz right away.
