Tart Cherry Berry Fizz Mocktail

/

A spring mocktail celebrating the upcoming fresh berry flavours with a fantastic non-alcoholic pink gin.

This non-alcoholic gin was one of the first non-alcoholic spirits I tried, and I loved it so much it’s still a standard on my zero proof bar cart. It’s a fantastic option for mixing with diet tonic water for a low-sugar, high-flavour mocktail that truly tastes like the real thing.

What is non-alcoholic raspberry gin?

Raspberry gin is a type of flavored gin infused with raspberry flavor. It's made by macerating fresh or dried raspberries in gin, allowing the flavors to meld together over time. Sometimes other botanicals or ingredients are added to complement the raspberry flavor, creating a really uniquely flavoured spirit. Raspberry gin, even the non-alcoholic version, can be enjoyed on its own over ice, mixed with tonic water for a fruity twist on a classic G&T, or used in cocktails for added depth and complexity. For the non-alcoholic gin, the liquid is finished as a full ABV gin, and then put through a reverse osmosis process to remove the alcohol molecule.

The two best non-alcoholic raspberry gin are Gordon’s Pink Gin and Fluere Raspberry Gin which is what I’m using here in this recipe. **Note for Canadians: It looks like Fluere has been discontinued in Canada, but you can order it from Amazon.com.

Tart Cherry vs Sour Cherry - what’s the difference?

Everyone is talking about ‘tart cherry juice’ these days, but what if you can only find ‘sour cherry juice’? Is it the same thing and is it interchangeable? The answer is yes, tart cherry and sour cherry are terms often used interchangeably to refer to the same fruit, specifically Prunus cerasus. Both names describe a type of cherry that is characterized by its tangy flavor, which is distinct from the sweeter varieties like Bing or Rainier cherries.

However, if you want to draw a fine distinction, some might argue that "tart cherry" is a broader category that encompasses all varieties of cherries with a sour flavor profile, including Montmorency, Morello, and Balaton cherries, among others. On the other hand, "sour cherry" might refer more specifically to the Montmorency variety, which is one of the most common types of tart cherries.

In essence, while there might be a subtle difference in terminology, both "tart cherry" and "sour cherry" generally refer to the same type of fruit known for its sour or tart taste.

It really doesn’t matter what you use in this recipe, as long as it says either tart of sour cherry on the label.
