Once everything is in the shaker, shake it up! Secure the lid tightly and shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, ensuring that all the ingredients are well combined. This will blend the flavors together and make the drink extra smooth.
After shaking, pour and top. Carefully pour the mixture into your prepared glass filled with ice. Then, add a splash of sparkling water on top to give the drink that signature fizz. This will lighten up the drink and make it even more refreshing.Finally, serve and enjoy! Stir the drink gently to ensure all the ingredients are well distributed, and you’re ready to enjoy your ultra-hydrating, antioxidant-packed Cherry Lime Spritzer.
