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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Cherry Lime Ricky didn't turn out very good. It was too tart and not sweet enough.
