Cherry Almond Fizz

Here is a fun little mocktail with a bright pink color (think:  Valentine's Day for the kids)  Personally, we have a Soda Stream and love it!  Therefore, we are never left without seltzer water in our household. 

Cherry Almond Fizz

Yield:  1 Mocktail

Ingredients:
1 - 2 Tablespoons Maraschino Cherry Juice 

1 Teaspoon Sugar or Sugar Alternative (I prefer to use 1 Stevia packette)

1/2 Teaspoon Almond Extract

2-3 Tablespoons Half & Half or Cream

Club Soda or Seltzer Water

Ice

1-2 Maraschino Cherries for Garnish

Step 1:  In a tall glass, place 3-4 ice cubes and then add the Maraschino cherry juice, sugar and almond extract.  

Step 2:  Fill with club soda - but leave about a 1/2 inch empty from the top.  Do not fill to the top or you will not have room for the cream!

Step 3:  Stir gently.  Top the drink off with the cream and garnish with Maraschino cherries.
