Easy Ways to Elevate Mocktails with Chukar Cherries
Do you enjoy mocktails? So do we, which is why we're excited to share our top tips for incorporating cherries into your beverages. Our colorful, all-natural cherries are the perfect ingredient to enhance your favorite non-alcoholic drinks.
Tip #1 Soak Dried Cherries on Skewers
Product: Our no sugar added, naturally dried Cherry Medley contains a mix of dark sweet Bing, golden sweet Rainier, and red tart cherries.
How to Use: Using 6-inch bamboo skewers, push 3-4 naturally dried cherries onto the pointed end. Place one skewer per glass for a surprising addition to mock Manhattans, mock sangria, non-alcoholic wine, or herbal iced tea.
Tip #2 Use the Juice from a Cherry Jar
Product: Dark, sweet Cocktail Cherries are whole cherries with stems packed in tall jars of flavorful juice (no bleaching, artificial dyes, or preservatives).
How to Use: Add a splash of the juice from the jar to your mocktail, lemonade, or other creative beverage.
Tip #3 Try Our Recipe for Non-Alcoholic Cherry Sangria
Using a large pitcher, combine your favorite fruit juice with chunks of fresh fruit. We suggest white grape juice, orange juice, or cranberry juice with a splash of tart cherry juice.
Chop stone fruits (peaches, plums), apples, oranges, or pineapple. Add whole berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), and grapes. Add fruit to juice and refrigerate for several hours.
Add ice to tall glasses, pour fruity sangria and a splash of sparkling water over the top. Garnish with sliced lemon and Chukar Cocktail Cherries. Time to party!
