Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Vodka
- 2 cups Sparkling water or club soda
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 2 slices Lime slices (for garnish)
- 4 whole Fresh cherries (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of water.
Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are soft and the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cherry mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the cherry mixture into a large pitcher, pressing gently with a spoon to extract the juices. Discard the solids.
To the pitcher, add the freshly squeezed lime juice, the remaining 1 1/2 cups of water, and the vodka. Stir well to combine.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the cherry vodka limeade mixture over the ice, filling each glass about two-thirds full.
Top off each glass with sparkling water or club soda to add a fizzy finish.
Garnish each glass with a lime slice and a fresh cherry before serving.
Stir gently and enjoy your refreshing Cherry Vodka Limeade!
