We are still in the chilly months where sipping on warm cider and lattes is a daily routine. Lately, though, I have been craving the frozen treats of summer. Robust and tangy fruit flavors that provide a zing are some of the best flavors in my opinion. With this craving driving home its need to be met, I popped into the kitchen and started concocting the most delicious sparkling cranberry limeade. It was an instant hit with the family! With both playful flavors and a sophisticated fizz, I think it will be a hit in your home as well!



SPARKLING CRANBERRY LIMEADE 

2 cans of your favorite carbonated water
2 cups unsweetened cranberry juice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice ( four limes )
3 full tablespoons of agave nectar
6-8 Lime slices
1 cup of frozen sweet cherries
1 cup of ice

FOR GARNISH
2 tablespoons lime zest
2 tsps sugar
6 slices of lime


PREPARATION.
In a pitcher, combine the cranberry juice, fresh lime juice, and carbonated water. Stir in 2 tablespoons of agave nectar to sweeten. Add ice cubes, frozen sweet cherries, and lime slices to pitcher.  The lime slices and cherries will infuse even more flavor! Serve in your favorite glass, garnished with a lime slice. Drink and be merry!

GLASS RIM GARNISH ( optional ).
In a bowl mix together 2 tablespoons lime zest and 2 teaspoons of sugar. Fill a second bowl with two tablespoons of water. Dip rim of glass in water, then dip in lime zest and sugar mixture. Press zest/sugar mixture around the edges of the glass until sufficiently garnished. Add a lime wedge, a serving of the sparkling cranberry limeade, and enjoy!
