I recently made homemade cherry lemonade. I won't lie that it was a lot of work for a drink, but if you are serving guests, totally worth your time. Also it is a drink that you can serve as is to kids but for the adults add a bit of vodka to spice it up!
 |
| After pitting the cherries |
 |
| Mix 3 cups cherries with water and sugar....simmer for about 30 minutes |
 |
| About 15 minutes into cooking |
 |
| After 30 minutes the juice has a consistency of syrup |
 |
| Strain the cherries through a fine sieve |
 |
| Squeeze about 8-9 lemons to get about 1.5 cups of juice |
 |
| Mix the cherry juice and lemon juice with club soda, super-fine sugar and ice |
 |
| My husband laughed at my straws but hey the faster you can drink that faster you chill especially if you add some vodka! |
