Sparkling Cherry Limeade.
Fresh cherries, lime juice, and sparkling water make a very refreshing summer drink!
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup lime juice
- ½ cup organic cane sugar or regular sugar
- 2 cups Rainier cherries pitted
- 36 ounces sparkling water
Instructions
Make the cherry syrup:
- Place the sugar, lime juice, and the pitted cherries in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.
- If you like, you can strain the cherry mixture through a fine mesh sieve, to remove any small pieces of cherries. I didn't do this, and didn't find the bits of cherries bothersome.
Mix the drinks:
- Divide the cherry lime syrup evenly among four glasses with ice. Pour about 9 ounces of sparkling water into each glass and stir. Top each glass with a cherry if you like.
Notes
Leftover cherry syrup can be stored in the refrigerator overnight, but it may discolor slightly.
