This sweet and refreshing cherry limeade is made from scratch using real cherries and freshly squeezed lime juice. Served over ice this fruity drink has the perfect balance of cherry and lime flavors. It is absolutely delicious and ideal for any hot summer day!
If using fresh cherries, pit them first. If using frozen, allow them to thaw for at least 30 minutes before blending.
To a blender add cherries, 2 cups of water, and cane sugar. Blend until smooth
Strain cherry limeade concentrate with a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher. Add the remaining cup of water then stir to combine.
Step four. Add ice and serve with lime slices. Enjoy!
Notes
Store in the refrigerator for 5 days. Make ahead. Make the recipe like usual but save the ice for just until you are ready to serve it so your limeade doesn't become watery.
