Cherry-Almond Spiced Spritz

Combine the Flavor Base

1. Add the tart cherry juice, orgeat, freshly squeezed lemon juice, non-alcoholic aromatic bitters, and a tiny pinch of ground cinnamon into a mixing glass or shaker filled with ice.
2. Stir gently for about 15 seconds until well-chilled and integrated.

Assemble and Spritz

3. Fill a stemmed wine glass with fresh ice cubes.
4. Strain the chilled cherry-almond blend into the glass over the ice.
5. Top with the chilled sparkling water and give one gentle lift with a barspoon to blend without knocking out the carbonation.

Garnish and Serve

6. Express the oils from an orange peel over the top, slip it into the glass alongside a lightly clapped sprig of rosemary, and serve immediately.
