Time 20m

Yield 4 servings, 5 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lemon, plus slices, for optional garnish
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 1/2 cups black cherry grape juice
2 1/2 cups cherry-flavored seltzer water, from 1 liter bottle
Ice cubes

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel 6 (3-inch) long strips of lemon zest, taking care to not peel into the white pith. Squeeze 2 tablespoons of juice from the lemon into a small pot. Add the zest strips, sugar and water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and cool.
  • Strain into a serving pitcher and top with the grape juice and seltzer. Serve over ice with slices of lemon, if desired.
