Cherry Lime Spritzer

Cherry Lime Spritzer is a perfectly refreshing summer cocktail.

It’s not only refreshing but oh-so-beautiful.

Cherry Lime Spritzer

• 2 cups fresh sweet red cherries (stemmed, halved, and pitted)
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 750L Sweet white wine (a late harvest riesling is nice)
• 17 ounces Sparkling Ice water lemon-lime flavor (or similar not overly sweet lemon-lime drink)

Prepare cherries and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with the sugar and stir. Set aside.

Pout wine and sparkling water in a pitcher.

Stir in cherries until the sugar has dissolved.

If you prefer, you can use 1 cup of simple syrup rather than the ⅔ cup of sugar.  It’s nice to have simple syrup because it’s made ahead; and, therefore, you don’t have to wait for the sugar to dissolve.
