Cherry Orchard Twist
Tart cherry and apple juices share this easy still pour, pairing dark fruit flavor with sweeter orchard notes. Apple and pomegranate tie the ingredients together, while cold water softens their concentration. A lemon twist adds bright peel fragrance without another measure of juice.
Made with Apple Pomegranate E+
5 min · One 8 fl oz drink · 10 fl oz straight-sided glass
Original recipe by Capt. Solomon D. Crowe
One 2 fl oz E+ bottle + 6 fl oz mixers = one 8 fl oz drink.
The finished drink contains the bottle’s caffeine: 85 mg according to the US product sheet. Dilution changes the concentration, while the total caffeine stays the same. Check your bottle’s current label.
The flavor balance
Tart cherry juice supplies the darker fruit note, while apple juice offers sweeter orchard flavor. Equal portions balance their volumes, and cold water sets the final dilution.
Ingredients
Makes 8 US fl oz · About 237 mL · No ice
- 1 full 2 fl oz bottle Isagenix E+ Apple Pomegranate, chilled
- 1.5 fl oz (3 tbsp) ready-to-drink tart cherry juice, chilled
- 1.5 fl oz (3 tbsp) apple juice, chilled
- About 3 fl oz (6 tbsp) cold water; use only enough to bring the finished drink to 8 fl oz
- 1 lemon-peel twist, about 2 inches long, for garnish
Optional variation — choose before mixing
For less apple sweetness, replace 1 tbsp apple juice with 1 tbsp cold water. Keep the full 2 fl oz E+ bottle unchanged and the finished liquid at exactly 8 fl oz; make the swap before mixing.
How to make it
- 1
Combine the measured ready-to-drink tart cherry juice and measured apple juice in an open measuring jug. Use thoroughly chilled liquids and a chilled glass; do not add ice.
- 2
Pour in the entire 2 fl oz bottle of E+ and stir gently to combine.
- 3
Add cold water gradually, using about 3 fl oz (6 tbsp), and stir gently. Stop at exactly the 8 fl oz liquid mark in the jug.
- 4
Pour the full 8 fl oz serving into the chilled 10 fl oz straight-sided glass, without ice. Garnish with 1 lemon-peel twist, about 2 inches long. Serve promptly.
Mixologist’s tip: Choose ready-to-drink tart cherry juice rather than concentrate, and check the bottle before measuring.
Serve alongside: A small cheddar scone.
