Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups pomegranate juice
- 20 black cherries (pitted)
- Lime seltzer
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 5 drops black gel food coloring
Serving Component:
- Ice
Instructions
- In a high-powered blender, combine ripe black cherries, deep crimson pomegranate juice, velvety agave syrup, and midnight-black food coloring for a dramatic base.
- Pulverize the mixture until achieving a silky, uniform consistency with no visible fruit chunks.
- Position a fine-mesh strainer over a spacious pitcher, carefully pouring the blended liquid through to eliminate any lingering fruit pulp or seeds.
- Select elegant serving glasses and fill generously with crystal-clear ice cubes.
- Gently cascade the strained dark mocktail into each prepared glass, leaving slight room at the top.
- Crown each glass with a sparkling splash of zesty lime seltzer, creating an effervescent layer that transforms the drink’s appearance and adds a refreshing tang.
- Optionally, garnish with a single fresh black cherry or a delicate lime wheel to enhance visual appeal and hint at the mocktail’s vibrant flavor profile.
Notes
- Experiment with different black cherry varieties to find the richest, most intense flavor profile for your mocktail.
- Use fresh pomegranate juice for a more vibrant and natural color instead of relying solely on food coloring.
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the mocktail extra cool and prevent immediate ice dilution.
- For a low-sugar version, substitute agave syrup with stevia or monk fruit sweetener while maintaining the drink’s deep, complex taste.
