Ingredients
2 cups sweet cherries (pitted, fresh or thawed frozen)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
2–3 tablespoons cane sugar or sweetener of choice
3 cups cold filtered water
Ice (for serving)
Optional: fresh mint, chia seeds, or lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
1. Pit the cherries if using fresh, or thaw if frozen.
2. Juice your limes to get about 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice.
3. In a blender, combine cherries, lime juice, sweetener, and water. Blend until smooth.
4. Optional: Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher.
5. Serve over ice. Garnish with lime slices, mint, or chia seeds if desired.
Notes
Adjust sweetness based on fruit ripeness.
To make it slushy, add 1 cup ice to blender.
Best consumed within 2–3 days.
Add chia seeds for extra hydration and texture.
To make it a cocktail, add 1.5 oz tequila or vodka per serving.
