Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust for sweetness)

4 cups sparkling water (chilled)

Lime slices and whole cherries for garnish

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherry Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the pitted and halved cherries with granulated sugar. Using a muddler or fork, gently mash the cherries to release their juices and dissolve the sugar. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.

    Juice the Limes: While waiting for the cherry mixture, juice the limes until you have approximately 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice. Strain the juice to remove any pulp or seeds for a smoother drink.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, mix the cherry mixture with the fresh lime juice. Stir well until combined and the sugar is fully dissolved.

        Add Sparkling Water: Slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water into the pitcher, gently stirring to incorporate without losing too much carbonation.

          Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Cherry Limeade Sparkler over the ice. Garnish each drink with a lime slice and a whole cherry. If desired, add a few fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors!
