Garnish options:

The quality of cherries matters in this recipe. Sweet dark cherries work best, but tart cherries can add an interesting flavor dimension. For a lighter version, use light coconut milk instead of full-fat.

Instructions

Notes

This recipe makes about 4 servings and can be adjusted based on taste preferences. The cherry puree can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a frozen version, blend all ingredients except sparkling water with ice until smooth, then top with sparkling water. Adjust sweetness as needed based on the ripeness of cherries.
Children love this drink, but adults might enjoy an optional splash of rum or coconut rum for an alcoholic version. The mocktail pairs well with tropical dishes, desserts, or as a refreshing summer drink.

Tasting Notes

This Coconut Cherry Sparkler Mocktail offers a delightful blend of flavors that please the palate. The drink presents a perfect balance between sweet and tart notes.

The coconut milk provides a creamy base with subtle tropical undertones. It’s smooth and rich without being heavy or overwhelming.

Cherry juice adds a bright, fruity character that stands out against the coconut backdrop. The natural sweetness of the cherries brings a pleasant depth to the drink.

Flavor Profile:

  • First Sip: Creamy coconut with a hint of cherry
  • Mid-Palate: Fruity cherry notes become more pronounced
  • Finish: Clean, refreshing with a gentle coconut aftertaste

The carbonation from the sparkling water brings a lively effervescence that lifts the entire drinking experience. It creates tiny bubbles that tickle the tongue and enhance the aroma.

This mocktail has a beautiful layered appearance when properly prepared. The colors range from white to pink to deep red, making it as visually appealing as it is tasty.

The optional lime garnish adds a citrus accent that cuts through the sweetness. This bright note complements both the coconut and cherry flavors beautifully.

Perfect for warm weather, this drink tastes best when chilled thoroughly. The cold temperature highlights the refreshing qualities of the sparkling water and coconut milk.

Substitutes

Can’t find some ingredients for the Coconut Cherry Sparkler Mocktail? Don’t worry – there are several easy swaps you can make.

For coconut water, try plain water with a splash of coconut extract. You can also use coconut-flavored sparkling water as a replacement.

Cherry juice alternatives include cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, or any red berry juice. These give a similar color and fruity flavor to the drink.

No sparkling water? Regular water with a squeeze of lemon works in a pinch. Ginger ale or club soda are good fizzy alternatives too.

For a sweeter drink, add a teaspoon of simple syrup or honey. To make it less sweet, use tart cherry juice or add more sparkling water.

You can also swap fresh cherries for frozen ones during off-season months. Just thaw them first before using as garnish.
