Ingredients
Scale
For the mocktail:
- 4 oz tart cherry juice (found at your local health food store)
- .50 oz vanilla honey syrup
- .50 oz lemon juice
- Half a thumb’s length knob of ginger, peeled
- Top with your favorite sparkling seltzer, kombucha or probiotic soda (I like Olipop Ginger Ale for this)
For the vanilla honey:

- Local honey
For the vanilla honey syrup:

- Boiling water
Instructions
For the mocktail:
- In a cocktail tin, muddle your ginger and vanilla honey together until roughly combined.
- Then, add the cherry juice and lemon juice, top with ice and then shake for 10-15 seconds.
- Strain into a highball glass and top with about an inch of soda water, then ice.
For the vanilla honey:
- Carefully split a vanilla bean and add it to a 6 oz jar.
- Cover with good, local honey and let rest in a cool, dark place for about a week. The flavor improves the longer you allow the vanilla bean to infuse. R
- emove and reuse your vanilla bean once you reach your preferred level of vanilla flavor.
For the vanilla honey syrup:
- In a heatproof quart-sized container, weigh out equal parts vanilla honey and boiling water.
- Stir to combine until all the honey has dissolved.
- Let cool to room temp before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
