Star Trek Calaman Sherry Mocktail...Many Versions

Thanks to Neelix (Ethan Phillips with William J. Birnes) and their Star Trek Cookbook (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/star-trek-cookbook-ethan-phillips/1104309366), I have some great recipes to try.

Calaman Sherry
Here’s a blush-colored drink that should look like pink champagne. Strawberry Kiwi is again your base drink of choice, lightened with Martinelli’s sparkling apple cider, which also provides effervescence, or straight club soda if you don’t want it too sweet. Serve in a tall, long-stemmed champagne glass so you can watch the bubbles rise.

Calaman Sherry Mocktail…Many Versions
(Adapted from: Star Trek Cookbook)

I made several adaptations to this mocktail. "You adapt," as the Star Trek Voyager crew would say. The ability to adapt is a good quality in Star Trek crew and fans, right?

I used a 4oz champagne glass.

There are more pink beverages available besides Strawberry-Kiwi than I realized, for example: pink grapefruit, cranberry, passion fruit, and more, so I choose a few.

In addition, I got cranberry juice, too. I could make many different versions of Calaman Sherry!

Note: I think the lighting in my apartment is not strong enough to show the bubbles in my mocktails.
