Cherry and black lime spritz
Other 20 Mins Prep
- In a small pot, combine the water and sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, approx. 3-5 minutes. Stir in the black lime powder and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, or until bubbles form and the syrup has thickened to the consistency of honey. Set aside to cool.
- Reserve four cherries and pit the remaining ones.
- Using a peeler, peel the lime to make two strips. Juice the lime.
- Place the pitted cherries in a cocktail shaker and muddle the cherries to release the juice. Add the cranberry juice, ice and lime juice. Shake well for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour a tablespoon of the syrup into the bottom of two chilled glasses, or more depending on your preference. Add some more ice cubes and pour over the cherry-lime mixture until the glasses are half full. Top with soda water and decorate with two cherries and lime peel.
- Serve immediately.
