Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Citrus juicer or reamer
  • Mixing spoon
  • Serving glasses
  • Straws or cocktail stirrers

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ice
  • 1 cup frozen cherries pitted
  • 2 oz vodka or sub white rum
  • 1 oz lime juice fresh
  • 1 oz simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 0.5 cup lemon-lime soda or sparkling water
  • lime wedges for garnish
  • cherries for garnish

Instructions

  • Add ice and frozen cherries to the blender.
  • Pour in vodka, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.
  • Blend on high until smooth and slushy.
  • Add lemon-lime soda (or sparkling water) and pulse briefly to combine without losing bubbles.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness if needed.

Notes

Fresh lime juice gives the brightest flavor. For extra cherry punch, add a spoonful of cherry syrup. If too thick, blend in a splash more soda; if too thin, add a handful of ice or more frozen cherries.
