10 mins prepServes 1
A festive, non-alcoholic cocktail featuring homemade cherry syrup with edible glitter, blended with tart cherry juice and a zero-proof classic cosmo base. Perfect for a themed movie night!
1. **Prepare the Sparkle Cherry Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup frozen cherries, 2 tablespoons sugar, 5 tablespoons water, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (if using extract, add at the end off heat), and a pinch of salt.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, squishing the berries once warmed.
3. Simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Strain the berries through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing firmly to extract all the syrup. Discard the solids.
5. Stir in a desired amount of edible glitter into the warm syrup for sparkle. Let cool completely.
6. **Assemble One Mocktail:** In a glass, combine 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared Sparkle Cherry Syrup (to taste), 1/2 cup tart cherry juice, and 1/2 can of Recess Zero Proof Classic Cosmo.
7. Add more edible glitter to the mocktail if desired for extra sparkle. Stir gently and serve.
