Ingredients

Cherry Simple Syrup

Vodka Cherry Limeade

  • 1 ½ ounces vodka
  • ¾ ounce fresh lime juice
  • ¾ ounce cherry simple syrup
  • 2 ounces club soda
  • cherries and lime wedge for garnish

Instructions

Cherry Simple Syrup

  • In a medium saucepan, add water, organic cane sugar, and cherries. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat then lower to medium heat, stirring frequently until sugar dissolves into water.
  • Remove from heat once the cherries have released their juices and start to soften when gently pressed with a spoon. Allow syrup to cool completely to room temperature.
  • Strain simple syrup with a fine mesh sieve into a airtight container and discard solids or save them to use later.

Vodka Cherry Limeade

  • Place ice cubes in a rocks or old fashioned glass. Add cherry syrup, vodka, and lime juice to glass and stir. Top with soda water and garnish with cherries and a lime wheel or wedge.

Notes

To store: Keep extra cherry simple syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
