Are these made with regular tart cherry juice or the concentrate?
They are made with regular (single strength) tart cherry juice, which can be made by mixing one part tart cherry juice concentrate to 7 parts water. The concentrate is a great mixer, so you can be creative and vary the strength according to your own tastes. Enjoy! Patty
Thanks, Patty! Phil let me sample some tart cherry juice concentrate yesterday (I think it came from King Orchards) and I was blown away by the flavor. Will be great not only for mixed drinks, but also sauces and dressings. Can’t wait to experiment with it!

These sound delicious! I plan to make them soon. Thanks for the lovely recipe. Salud.
These sound even better than the ones I had last winter poolside in San Juan. Viva cherry juice!
This is the best mojito I’ve had yet. They always sound good but when I’ve ordered one in restaurants I’ve always been disappointed. This one did not disappoint! Refreshing, not too sweet, great flavor.
