Step 1 - Infuse Spices: In a small pot, add ½ cup cherry juice, cinnamon stick and cloves. Warm gently on low heat for 3–5 minutes. Do not boil — just heat until steamy. Turn off heat and let it cool to room temperature with spices still inside. Once cooled completely, using Smart Funnel strain out cinnamon and cloves.
Step 2 - Prepare the Soda: In your flip-top bottle, combine the remaining 1½ cups cherry juice, the ½ cup spiced cherry juice, 4 tbsp strained ginger bug and 2 tsp sugar. Leave 1–2 inches of headspace. Seal the bottle and gently swirl or invert to mix. Leave at room temperature 24–72 hours. Burp daily (or twice a day if very active). Refrigerate once fizzy.
How To Serve: Serve over ice for a cozy evening drink, or add a shot of gin + a rosemary sprig for a warming winter cocktail.
