Notes
- For a mocktail, use 2 oz of tonic water OR 6 oz of Black Cherry Sparkling Ice.
- Double the recipe if you're making more than one serving.
- Black Cherry Sparkling Ice adds the perfect amount of sweetness for my taste buds. If you want it sweeter, feel free to add a simple syrup or liquid stevia.
