A little-known fact is that tart cherry juice is a good substitute for sweet Vermouth in a Manhattan. Don't forget the bitters.
It's also good as a summertime drink with crushed mint leaves, a dash of lime juice, and vodka.
Make sure you read the labels as most of the juice is from concentrate and thus (apparently) Lacks as much of the desired anti inflammatories you look for when drinking it for such purposes.
PS, what is it about the concentration process that removes the anti-inflammatories?
