# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 120 ml crushed ice
02 - 480 ml sparkling water
03 - 120 ml simple syrup
04 - 240 ml cherry juice
05 - 240 ml fresh lime juice

→ Garnish

06 - Cherries
07 - Lime slices

# Instructions:

01 - Right away, sip your drink for the freshest taste ever.
02 - Pop a cherry into your glass and hook a lime slice on the rim to jazz it up.
03 - Fill up glasses, making sure plenty of ice makes it in each one.
04 - Toss in the crushed ice and give everything a quick stir so it gets cold and the ice spreads out.
05 - Gently swirl the sparkling water in just enough so the fizz sticks around.
06 - Carefully tip in the sparkling water, trying not to lose any bubbles.
07 - Stir up the simple syrup with both juices so everything's blended nicely.
08 - Pour in your simple syrup, more or less, depending on how sweet you'd like it.
09 - Dump both the cherry and lime juice into a big jug or bowl.
10 - Squeeze out about 240 ml of juice from your limes using your juicer.
11 - Round up some fresh limes, cherry juice, simple syrup, sparkling water, ice, lime wedges, and cherries to make your drink.

# Notes:

01 - Always pick fresh limes over store-bought juice so your drink tastes its best.
02 - Tweak the sweetness by pouring in more or less simple syrup based on how sweet your cherry juice is or what you like.
03 - Add the sparkling water slowly so you keep those bubbles. Club soda works too if that's all you've got.
04 - Crushed ice gives your drink a fun texture, but you can definitely switch to regular ice cubes if you want.
05 - Try tossing in a little grenadine or use other berries besides cherries if you feel like mixing things up.
