Categories     beverage

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup powdered cherry drink mix
Zest of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Place two tall glasses in the freezer to chill.
  • Add the ice cream to a food processor and pulse to the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. Transfer the ice cream to a bowl and return to the freezer while you make the cherry slush.
  • Wash out the food processor bowl and add the cherry drink mix, lime zest, 4 cups ice and 1/2 cup cold water. Process until smooth, adding more ice or water to adjust for desired consistency; for me, the icier the better.
  • To assemble the glacier: Remove the glasses from the freezer and fill each halfway with cherry slush. Add 2 scoops of the vanilla ice cream to the center of each glass, pressing down to allow the slush to push up the sides of the glass. Top with more cherry slush and serve immediately. I like to serve these with a spoon and straw.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy limes: This will ensure that your limeade is flavorful and refreshing.
  • Use fresh vanilla beans whenever possible: The flavor of fresh vanilla beans is far superior to that of vanilla extract.
  • Make sure your cherries are pitted and stemmed: This will make it easier to blend them into the limeade.
  • Use a high-powered blender to get a smooth and creamy limeade: A regular blender may not be powerful enough to break down the ice and cherries completely.
  • Serve your limeade immediately: It's best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Cherry vanilla limeade is a delicious and refreshing drink that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a refreshing drink, give cherry vanilla limeade a try!
