2 limes, juiced

4 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust for sweetness)

3 cups sparkling water or lemonade

Ice cubes

Lime wedges and cherries for garnish

Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the pitted cherries and lime juice. Blend until smooth.

    Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a medium bowl to remove the pulp and skins. Discard the solids.

      Stir in the honey or agave syrup into the cherry-lime juice until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

        In a large pitcher, combine the cherry-lime mixture with the sparkling water or lemonade. Stir gently to mix.

          Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the cherry limeade over the ice.

            Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a few whole cherries for a colorful presentation.
