Sparkling Cherry Lime Soda Recipes

Steps:

• Add the sugar, lime juice and 3/4 cup water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the green food coloring, remove from the heat and let cool.
• Into 2 chilled highball glasses, add to each glass: a few ice cubes and 2 ounces of the lime syrup. Divide the grenadine between the glasses, then top off each with club soda. Garnish with a lime wheel and maraschino cherries.

Steps:

• In a small pot on medium heat dissolve sugar in water. Raise the heat, add the lime rind and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and discard the lime rinds. Stir in the food coloring and cool.
• Fill 4 glasses with ice and distribute the lime syrup and lime juice, to taste, into each glass. Top with seltzer and stir. Garnish with lime slices.

Steps:

• Combine cherries, lemon juice, sugar, and water in a high-powered blender. Blend until fully incorporated and smooth, about 1 minute; let foam subside or spoon off.
• Pour mixture into a pitcher, and stir in lemon-lime soda. Serve over ice, and garnish with cherries and lemons, if desired.

Steps:

• For the simple syrup: Add the berries, sugar and 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the berries have released their juices and the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the liquid into a jar. Cool to room temperature before using.
• For the lime berry soda: Fill a 12-ounce glass with ice. Top with 1 ounce berry syrup and the sparkling water (save the remaining berry syrup for another use). Stir to combine. Garnish with the lime wedge and mint sprig.
