Creating a Cherry Limeade Sparkler is simple with these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Cherries: If using fresh cherries, wash and pit them. For frozen cherries, allow them to thaw slightly.
2. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the pitted cherries, fresh lime juice, and granulated sugar. Blend until smooth.
3. Strain the Mixture: Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the blended mixture through it. Use a spoon to press down and extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
4. Combine with Sparkling Water: In a large pitcher, combine the cherry-lime mixture with the sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to mix.
5. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
6. Serve Over Ice: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Cherry Limeade Sparkler over the ice.
7. Garnish: Add lime wedges and a few whole cherries to each glass for a beautiful presentation.

With these steps, you’ll create a deliciously sparkling Cherry Limeade that’s bound to be a hit!
