Flavor Tips To Get It Just Right
This Cherry Limeade mocktail’s simple but these little tweaks make sure every sip hits the way it should.
Use ripe fresh cherries if they’re in season: Frozen works too just thaw first.
Blend cherries with lime juice: It balances the sweet with the sharp.
Strain if you want it smooth: Or leave the bits in if you’re into texture.
Swap simple syrup for honey or agave: Still sweet just with a different vibe.
Add extra lime juice if it tastes too soft: That little zing makes a big difference.
Get the balance right once and you’ll be making it on repeat.
