Ingredients
- For the cocktail:
- 1 cup tart cherry juice (not from concentrate)
- ¼ cup agave or simple syrup
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 cup vodka
- 3 cups ice cubes
- 1 ½ cups limeade (we used Santa Cruz organic)
- 2 cans (3-4 cups) soda water
- For serving:
- Lime wedge for rimming the glass
- Coarse or regular sugar for rimming the glass
- Ice cubes
- Fresh lime slices

Instructions
- Add cherry juice, agave (or simple syrup), lime juice, and vodka to a large pitcher and stir with a spoon until the agave dissolves.
- Add in 3 cups of ice, limeade, and 1 can of soda water, stirring gently to mix.
- Prepare your glasses: Add sugar to a small plate. Use a lime wedge to wet the rim of the glass, then dip the rim of the glass in the sugar, rolling from side to side until well coated. Add ice cubes into the glasses.
- Pour cherry limeade into glasses, leaving a bit of room at the top, and top with a splash of soda water. Garnish with a cherry and slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Cheers!
