Sweetheart Spritz
This playful sparkling mocktail layers the rich sweetness of fig balsamic with bright lime, tart cherry, and a lively splash of ginger beer for a sip that feels celebratory but balanced. Lightly spiced, crisp, and not overly sweet, it’s an easy, elevated pour that’s just as fitting for date night as it is for any moment worth toasting.

Ingredients
8 oz low-sugar ginger beer
2½ oz fresh lime juice
2 oz Fustini’s Fig Balsamic Vinegar
2 oz unsweetened tart cherry juice
Ice
Optional garnish: brandied or amarena cherries, lime wheels
Directions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the fig balsamic, fresh lime juice, and tart cherry juice.
Shake briefly—just until well combined and chilled.
Fill two glasses with fresh ice and divide the ginger beer between them.
Strain the fig–lime–cherry mixture evenly over the ginger beer.
Give each glass one quick, gentle stir to combine. Garnish if desired and serve immediately.
Love, Love, LOVE Fustini’s! Just had a wonderful 90th birthday visit in the Traverse City store & got all stocked-up. Now I’m going to try some of these recipes with two of my absolute FAVE’S: Blood Orange Olive Oil and Fig Vinegar! Thanks Fustini’s!!! And a BIG thank you to Paul and Nicholas for making my 80th “retail therapy” visit so enjoyable!!!
