Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cherries
- 0.5 cup Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Sparkling water
- 2 cups Ice
- 1 whole Lime slices
- 8 leaves Mint leaves
Instructions
Begin by pitting the fresh cherries. Once pitted, place them in a blender and blend until smooth to create a cherry puree.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cherry puree, fresh lime juice, granulated sugar, and water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture starts to simmer.
Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool. Once cooled, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp or solids, leaving a smooth cherry limeade concentrate.
In a large pitcher, combine the cherry limeade concentrate with sparkling water. Stir gently to mix.
To serve, fill each glass with ice cubes. Pour the cherry limeade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with lime slices and mint leaves for an added burst of freshness.
Enjoy your Celsius Essentials Cherry Limeade immediately while it's chilled and sparkling.
