Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (approximately 4 limes)

3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

4 cups sparkling water (chilled)

Lime slices and cherries, for garnish

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherry Base: In a blender, combine the pitted and halved cherries, fresh lime juice, and granulated sugar. Blend until smooth and well combined. You may strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture without the pulp.

    Mix the Sparkler: In a large pitcher, combine the cherry-lime mixture with the chilled sparkling water. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to lose too many bubbles from the sparkling water.

      Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar. If it’s too tart, you can add a little more sugar or even a splash of simple syrup.

        Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Cherry Limeade Sparkler over the ice.

          Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with lime slices and halved cherries. Add a sprig of fresh mint for an extra refreshing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy the fizzy delight!
