Lavender Cherry Drink Mix: A Sip of Michigan Cherry Country
Save
Michigan grows a lot of cherries, and we think they deserve a drink of their own. Our Lavender Cherry Gourmet Drink Mix is sweet and bright with a floral lavender note, a little nod to cherry country up the coast from us.
The flavor
Cherry is bold and fruity, the kind of flavor that tastes like summer even when you are drinking it in October. The lavender gives it a softer, more grown-up finish than a typical cherry drink. It comes in an 11.5 oz sealed kraft pouch.
Quick mixing math
- One glass: 2 tablespoons mix plus 8 oz cold water.
- A quart: 1/2 cup mix plus 4 cups water.
- A gallon for a party: 2 cups mix plus 16 cups water.
Stir until fully dissolved before you add ice, then taste and adjust.
Ways to pour it
- Cherry spritzer: dissolve the mix in a splash of water, then fill the glass with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime.
- Party punch: cherry plays well with grape and lemonade. Our Sparkling Grape Lavender Punch with Cherry Ice Ring uses cherry to make a pretty frozen ring for the bowl.
- Cherry lemonade: combine a glass of cherry with a glass of our lavender lemonade for a sweet-tart mix.
- Ice pops: freeze the mixed drink in molds. See the Lavender Rainbow Ice Pops.
- For the 21+ crowd: vodka, bourbon or a light rum all pair with cherry.
Storing the pouch
Squeeze out the air, seal the pouch and keep it in a cool, dry pantry. Use a dry spoon every time so moisture does not clump the mix. Keep mixed drinks covered in the fridge and enjoy them within a day or two.
Gifts and gatherings
Cherry is a fun pick for anyone who loves Michigan summers, from cabin hosts to college kids far from home. Pair it with other drink mixes in the Gift Box Builder.
