Cherry Citrus Prosecco Spritzer Cocktail
Cherry Liquor, gin, freshly squeezed lemon and orange juice, and sparkling Prosecco make a sweet tart cocktail that goes down smooth and easy.
This cherry cocktail exists because I made Black Forest Cake.
Black Forest Cake calls for cherry liquor to be brushed over Devil’s Food chocolate cake before layering it up with Morello Cherries and whipped cream. I purchased Dr. McGillicuddy’s Cherry Liquor, which I’d never before tasted, but soon discovered that it is dangerously delicious. (It’s a miracle that some of it ended up in the cake.)
So there I was, with super delicious cherry liquor and some extra Morello Cherries. What to do, what to do?
After about 2 seconds of contemplation, I concocted this lovely cocktail that’s slightly sweet and tart, smooth and bubbly. I happen to know from personal experience that they go superbly with Black Forest Cake. But, I wouldn’t turn one down if it was served with pretty much anything. Or nothing at all.
