Sweet Black Cherry Limeade

Beat the heat with a refreshing drink that was made for Summer sippin’. This Sweet Black Cherry Limeade is fizzy fun with the perfect blend of sweet cherries with a hint of lime.

 

I don’t know about in your neck of the woods this past week, but in mine? It’s been hotter than hell.

Let me assure you, I am not exaggerating. With heat indexes over 100 for a solid 7 days, one might think it’s hot.

And it was. But that wasn’t even the worst part.

Dry heat? Now that I can handle. But nooooooo, we couldn’t have just crazy high temps– we had to have a crippling, dripping humidity thrown into the mix.

Because the more, the merrier right?

Sweet Black Cherry Limeade

To top it all off, it seemed to be ushering in a great Summer storm. Where is said storm? I have no idea, and neither do the local weathermen.

A ton of heat lightning does not a refreshing Summer storm make. Trust me.

Sweet Black Cherry Limeade

Naturally, I’ve had to get creative and find other ways to beat this oppressive heat wave.

Ice has become my lifeline.

Seriously, a good cold drink has curbed the edge we’ve all been feeling on more than one afternoon.

Everybody’s been overly cranky, even us grown ups. Sadly, the level of sweetness has not translated to an uptick in our attitudes when we’re sweating buckets going about our day to day activities.

It is however refreshing, and welcome way to relax for a few minutes here and there soaking up the chilly air conditioned atmosphere.

Our drink of choice this Summer? Sweet Black Cherry Limeade.

Served over ice, it’s a sweet, sharp beverage that’s the perfect refreshment on even the hottest of days. A little fizz from sparkling water, bursting with the juice of sweet dark cherries, balanced out against a bit of tart lime– this Sweet Black Cherry Limemade makes for perfect Summer sippin’.

A refreshing cocktail this cherry limemade combines the best of sweet cherries & tart lime for a refreshing treat on a hot day.
