Description
Cherry Lime is a refreshing, vibrant drink that combines the tartness of lime with the sweetness of cherries. Whether served as a fizzy soda, slushy, or cocktail, this drink is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 1/2 cups sparkling water or club soda (for a fizzy drink)
- Crushed ice
- Lime slices (for garnish)
- Fresh cherries (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the pitted cherries, lime juice, and honey or sugar. Blend until smooth. Adjust sweetness if desired.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp and skins for a smoother drink.
- In a glass, add crushed ice. Pour the cherry-lime mixture over the ice, filling about 3/4 full.
- Top off with sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with lime slices and fresh cherries. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, replace the sparkling water with lemon-lime soda (like Sprite) for a classic Cherry Limeade flavor.
- This drink is perfect for adding a sprig of fresh mint for garnish or extra flavor.
