Categories     beverage

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups pitted fresh or frozen cherries, plus pitted frozen cherries, for serving
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup frozen limeade concentrate (half of a 12-ounce can)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, plus lime wheels, for serving
Seltzer, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Combine the cherries, sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Carefully smash the cherries with a potato masher, then simmer the mixture until slightly reduced and dark red, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Strain the mixture through a strainer into a heatproof container, pressing on the cherry solids to extract all the juice. There should be about 1 3/4 cups of syrup. Let cool for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the cherry syrup with the limeade and lime juice in a pitcher and stir well. There will be about 3 cups total.
  • To serve: Either stir in 3 cups water if you want a still drink, or mix equal parts of the drink mix with seltzer in a glass. Serve over ice with frozen cherries and lime wheels.

Yield Makes 10 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 cups lime syrup
3 ounces grenadine
2 liters chilled lemon-lime seltzer or club soda
Garnish: maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • Pour 2 tablespoons lime syrup into each of 10 tall (8-ounce) glasses. Carefully pour 1 tablespoon grenadine over back of a long spoon inserted halfway into each glass (to prevent colors from blending). Gently top off drinks with seltzer, pouring it over back of spoon.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Limes that are too old will be dry and have less juice.
  • If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by combining equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and heating it over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
  • Garnish your Cherry Lime Gin Rickey with a lime wedge and a cherry for a festive touch.
  • You can also add a splash of grenadine to your Cherry Lime Gin Rickey for a sweeter flavor.
  • If you don't have gin, you can substitute vodka or white rum.

Conclusion:

The Cherry Lime Gin Rickey is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing drink, give the Cherry Lime Gin Rickey a try.
