    Homemade Cherry Limeade

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on July 10, 2014 Beverages, Dairy-Free Recipes

    This homemade cherry limeade is a sweet-tart refresher that was shared with us by Whole Foods in honor of a prior nationwide cherry sale.

    Homemade Cherry Limeade Recipe

    With just one pound of those fresh cherries, you can whip up 8 cool glasses of this homemade cherry limeade! Thanks to the fresh fruit ingredients, each sweet sip contains vitamin C, potassium, beta-carotene, and more wonderful antioxidants to replenish and recharge on active summer days.

    Special Diet Notes & Options: Homemade Cherry Limeade

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan (just be sure to use a vegan sugar), vegetarian, and generally food allergy-friendly.

    For refined sugar-free homemade cherry limeade, agave nectar makes a good sweetener swap, but honey (non-vegan, but paleo) would also do since you are creating a syrup.

    Serves: 8 glasses
    Ingredients
    • 1½ pounds cherries (about 6 cups), pitted, divided
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1½ cups water
    • ¾ cup fresh-squeezed lime juice
    • 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
    • 6 cups still or sparkling water, divided
    • 1 lime, cut into wedges
    Instructions
    1. Put 1 pound of the cherries, sugar and 1½ cups water into a medium pot; cover and simmer over medium heat (reducing heat, as needed, to maintain a simmer) until the cherries are very tender and have made a fragrant syrup, about 20 minutes. Set aside to let cool for about 10 minutes.
    2. Purée the cherry mixture in a blender with the lime juice and zest.
    3. To make each glass of limeade, pour about ½ cup of the cherry-lime syrup and ¾ cup still or sparkling water over ice in a tall glass. Stir well and then top with a small handful of the remaining cherries, garnish with a lime wedge and serve.

      So refreshing! I need cherries and limes (the limes available around here are pretty sad these days) and sparkling water. Thanks for sharing, Alisa!
