Fresh Cherry Lime Vodka Soda
Description
The Fresh Cherry Lime Vodka Soda features lime juice and vodka mixed with cherry syrup made from pitted fresh cherries cooked gently with water and sugar until bursting soft, then pureed smooth. This syrup brings a natural cherry sweetness and richness to the cocktail. After chilling the base mixture in a pitcher, cold lime seltzer water is stirred in to add carbonation and bright citrus notes. Served over crushed ice and garnished with lime wedges and fresh cherries, this drink is colorful and lively with a mix of tartness from the lime and sweetness from the cherry syrup, balanced by the vodka's kick. Fresh mint may be added for an herbal aroma. This cocktail suits social occasions or casual enjoyment when a fruity, bubbly option is desired.

cherry syrup
- Place the cherries, water and sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, until the cherries are soft and bursting, about 6 to 8 minutes.
