Sparkling Cherry Lime Soda Recipes

Steps:

• Place the pitted cherries in a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar, lime juice and salt. Stir until the cherries are evenly coated. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour to macerate the cherries.
• Drain the cherry mixture, collecting and reserving all the juice. Thread the macerated cherries amongst 8 cocktail skewers and set aside for garnish.
• Stir together the reserved cherry juice and seltzer in a small pitcher.
• Fill 8 highball glasses with ice cubes. Pour the cherry sparkler over the ice and garnish each glass with a skewer of cherries and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add the sugar, lime juice and 3/4 cup water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the green food coloring, remove from the heat and let cool.
• Into 2 chilled highball glasses, add to each glass: a few ice cubes and 2 ounces of the lime syrup. Divide the grenadine between the glasses, then top off each with club soda. Garnish with a lime wheel and maraschino cherries.

Steps:

• Reserve 4 of the cherries for garnish, then add the remaining cherries with their liquid, ice, soda, limeade concentrate and lime juice to a blender and blend until the ice is crushed. Serve in glasses with cherries and lime wedges for garnish.

Steps:

• In a small pot on medium heat dissolve sugar in water. Raise the heat, add the lime rind and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and discard the lime rinds. Stir in the food coloring and cool.
• Fill 4 glasses with ice and distribute the lime syrup and lime juice, to taste, into each glass. Top with seltzer and stir. Garnish with lime slices.

Steps:

• Combine cherries, sugar, zest, and juice. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and flavors are melded, at least 1 hour or, refrigerated in an airtight container, up to 2 days. Combine cherry mixture and seltzer in a large pitcher. Serve over ice, garnished with lime wheels.

Steps:

• Combine cherries, lemon juice, sugar, and water in a high-powered blender. Blend until fully incorporated and smooth, about 1 minute; let foam subside or spoon off.
• Pour mixture into a pitcher, and stir in lemon-lime soda. Serve over ice, and garnish with cherries and lemons, if desired.
