Sparkling Cherry Limeade

These cherry limeades only call for 3 ingredients (4 if you want to sweeten them) and are ready in just 5 minutes. I was making the "lazy version" of these all last summer. Yes, this recipe only takes 5 minutes but it's not the lazy version. That involves pouring sparkling water into a cup with cherries and a lime wedge and smashing it all up with my reusable straw while I drink it. This summer, I've decided to make the recipe a bit more sophisticated with a better flavor and even a beautiful color.

  1. Blend together the cherries and lime juice as well as some honey if you want it sweet. If you're using a Blendtec, select the "whole juice" option.
  2. Evenly divide the cherry mixture between two serving glasses. Strain out any remaining solids, if you prefer.
  3. Add 5 oz of sparkling water to each glass and stir.
  4. Add ice, if desired and serve immediately.


I really liked this drink without any sweetener but I absolutely love sour things. It may or may not need honey, it just depends on your personal preference. Instead of pitting all those cherries myself, I just bought frozen organic cherries and thawed them in the microwave since they already have the pits removed.
