There are days that we would like to make last for weeks, like this heatwave that has taken over the country recently. Even in Brittany (!) we let ourselves be lulled by the warm wind until the evening, a pleasure to alternate between swimming in salt water and lazing around in the garden. A foretaste of summer in short. And it seems that it will be hot in summer this year... Anyway, weather update over! Today I'm talking to you about a lovely refreshing drink that I had the opportunity to make with the first cherries of the season. A sparkling cherry and lime drink which can be sipped endlessly! Yes, I swear. Not too much sugar, a subtle fruity aroma (thanks to the cherries) and the refreshing hint of lime and bubbles. Happiness in a bottle, I tell you.
The good news is that this lime cherry lemonade is super easy to make, as long as you have a blender (and the 4 ingredients in this recipe - yes 4 - no more). And for those who are sensitive about this subject, know that this is a completely vegan recipe.
Lemonades are definitely my favorite thing to have when it's hot out: the idea of a smoothie at this time of year doesn't appeal to me as much, or at least with ice cubes. But in terms of texture, I still prefer the little sparkling bubbles. Nothing better to give yourself a boost when it's hot out.
I advise you to make this lemonade and enjoy it straight away (don't make it in advance), it would lose its bubbles, which would be a shame...
Here is my recipe:
- 1 L sparkling water
- 130 ml lime juice
- 120 g pitted fresh cherries
- 90 g brown sugar to adjust according to your taste
- In a blender, pour the cherries, sugar and lime juice. Mix finely.
- Add the sparkling water (gently by tilting the container slightly otherwise it foams!)
- Put in the fridge.
- Serve in 4 glasses with ice cubes.
These photos full of freshness are absolutely sublime :)
Thank you Sandrine :) coming from you - talented as you are - that makes me very happy!
Very nice photos for a perfect refreshing recipe with this heat.
To drink without moderation :)
Totally love this recipe! Too bad I don't have the necessary equipment, but I'll definitely try it :)
I think I'll try this recipe! It looks so good!
This lemonade makes me want!
Hello, did you not filter it because I am afraid that the cherries will leave some skin?
Thanks, this looks delicious!
These photos are great... this lemonade color is crazy!
This recipe looks really perfect with the weather we've been having these last few days, but I'm wondering if it will need to be filtered before adding the sparkling water to avoid having pieces of cherries?
The photos are so pretty and full of pep! A great fresh idea for summer :)
We take advantage of the beautiful season to capture the light! Hope it lasts ;)
This makes my mouth water!!
Very original! I like it a lot
