Calamansi Cherry Spritz

This refreshing mocktail includes calamansi, a citrus fruit commonly used in Filipino and Southeast Asian cooking that tastes like a cross between a mandarin orange, lemon and lime. We combined the juice of this aromatic fruit with tart cherry juice, which has been linked to better sleep and has anti-inflammatory properties. A touch of agave nectar adds balance and has a lower glycemic index than many other added sugars. The drink gets its effervescence from ginger ale or prebiotic soda, which provides tummy-pleasing bubbles.

Cook’s Note
This drink is on the tart side, so if you prefer it sweeter, add 1 to 2 teaspoons more agave nectar, or until your desired sweetness is achieved.
