Notes

  • How to Store
  • How to Store
  • Cherry Lemonade can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To store the drink, transfer it to an airtight container or pitcher and place it in the refrigerator. If you're storing the drink for an extended period, it's best to keep it in the coldest part of the refrigerator to ensure it stays fresh. Before serving the Cherry Lemonade, give it a good stir to ensure that the ingredients are well mixed.  If the drink has separated, stir it until it is well combined.
  • It's important to note that the flavor of the Cherry Lemonade may change over time, especially if it sits for more than a day. The lemon flavor may become more pronounced, and the sweetness may decrease. If the drink has been stored for more than 2 days or if it tastes off, it's best to discard it and make a fresh batch.
