Calories: 106kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen sweet cherries pitted
- 12 fl oz frozen limeade concentrate
- ¼ cup water
- 8.75 fl oz lime Perrier
Instructions
- Place the frozen cherries and the frozen limeade concentrate into a blender and puree with the water until smooth. Do this step in two or three batches if you don't have a powerful blender, adding extra water if needed.
- Stir the lime Perrier into the cherry limeade mixture and pour the liquid into a large, freezer-friendly container with a lid.
- Freeze the drink for 2½ hours, stirring halfway through. Spoon the slushie into glasses and garnish with a fresh lime slice and maraschino cherries. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Make sure you're using sweet, dark cherries with the pits removed.
- Substitute the frozen limeade with 1 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice and simple syrup to taste.
- Any sparkling water, such as San Pellegrino, will work in this recipe.
- You can save time by skipping the freezing, but this drink won't have the slushie texture that way.
