Cherry Fizz

I call this the ‘Cherry Fizz‘. Homemade cherry simple syrup, seltzer, prosecco, and rum. This is the perfect ‘meet me by the pool’ cocktail.

A few weeks ago I started playing around with some beer cocktails.  I made a Bull’s Eye Beer Cocktail that turned our fantastic!  Keeping in mind that I wanted to make another cocktail, I was always on the lookout for new non-beer ideas for cocktails.  Then it happened – while shopping I came across something that I loved when I was growing up, New York Seltzer.  My favorite after-school treat was a little bottle of this flavored seltzer and Pringle chips! I felt like a kid again seeing these in what happened to be the liquor aisle of my grocery store.

I already had a bunch of cherries in my refrigerator that needed to be used up, a bottle of prosecco that I had picked up from Costco and of course what do most ‘summertime’ drinks contain? Rum.  Thus, the cherry fizz was born!

With the cherries that I had leftover, about 2 cups, I made a simple syrup.  This adds an extra layer of fruit flavor and sweetness to the drink.  Do know that a little goes a long way when adding it to drinks.

How do you make simple syrup?

Take the stem and pit out of the cherries and add them to a food processor.  Once they are thoroughly mashed add them to a pan with 1/2 cup of water and 1/2-1 Tbs of sugar.  Cook the mixture down until it thickens, around 20 minutes.  Take the mixture and add to a container and let cool.  This will last in the refrigerator for drinks up to 2 weeks.

How to make Cherry Fizz:

Make this cherry fizz in an individual glass or you can make in larger batches to share with friends and neighbors. 

For the glass recipe; add 1/2 Tbs of cherry simple syrup to a tall glass filled with ice.  Add 1/2 cup of prosecco.  Then add 1/2 shot of white rum.

Finally finish the drink off with the seltzer, around 1/2-1 cup.

Stir to combine, maybe whip up some snacks like these Air Fryer Rosemary Cashews, and here you are…..

    I am going to have to give this a try, but may replace with gin- I’m a gin girl. Sounds delicious!
