Method for Creating Cherry Limeade

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients, ensuring you have fresh limes and either store-bought cherry syrup or the ingredients to make your own. If you're making homemade cherry syrup, simmer equal parts cherries and sugar with a splash of water until thickened.

Step 2: Juice the Limes

Using a lime juicer, extract the juice from your fresh limes until you have about 1 cup. Strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp and seeds if desired.

Step 3: Mix It Up

In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lime juice and cherry syrup. If you like it sweeter, you can adjust the syrup to your liking.

Step 4: Add the Sparkling Element

Add the sparkling water to the shaker. Be gentle while mixing, as you don’t want to lose the fizz.

Step 5: Serve

Fill two glasses with ice and pour the Cherry Limeade mixture over the ice. Garnish with fresh cherries and lime slices for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Sip and savor the refreshing taste of your Cherry Limeade!
