Move over lemonade, there’s a wonderful new spring/summer beverage in town. This cherry limeade is super refreshing and delicious, with a sweet, tart, and slightly topical flavor that brings nuance and sophistication to each cooling glass.

This recipe calls for a whole lot of freshly juiced limes, but the extra few minutes involved is totally worth it—store bought lime juice just doesn’t have the same flavor! Serve this cherry limeade for a yummy splash of summer fun at your next pool party, picnic, or barbeque. We think you’ll be glad you decided to expand your citrus horizons.   

Ingredients:

• 12 oz frozen cherries, thawed
• 1 cup fresh lime juice (from about 10 medium limes)
• ¼ cup honey
• 4 cups water, divided
• 1 Tbsp Sari Foods Organic Vitamin C Powder
• A few splashes of sparkling water (optional—if you prefer a few bubbles)

Directions:

1. Puree cherries and lime juice until the cherry fragments are very fine.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring the cherry-lime mixture, 1 cup of water, and honey to a low boil, stirring constantly.
3. Strain the mixture into a large pitcher and allow to cool completely in the refrigerator. 
4. Stir in the vitamin C powder and the remaining 3 cups of water, and serve over ice.

Peace, love, and refreshing cherry goodness from the Sari Foods family.
