Homemade Cherry Lemonade



Skip to Recipe

The weather was incredibly hot last weekend! The scorching sun forced us to stay indoors and we spent most of our time sipping on lemonades. I have a deeply ingrained love for lemonade. With a single sip, I time-travel to those carefree summer days of childhood when calories didn't matter.

While the classic lemonade always hit the spot, I created a fruit lemonade that is flavourful, low in calories, and can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.
The Cherry Lemonade is a fresh and vibrant twist on the classic lemonade. With just a handful of ingredients, this will be ready in no time!

This lemonade strikes a good balance between sweetness and tartness, and it is this combination that makes it a crowd-pleaser.
The drink is gorgeous and impressive enough for pool parties, BBQs or a nice treat to give yourself after a long day at work!

Though the recipe is non-alcoholic, you can create an adult version too. Just splash some vodka into the mix and you’ve got the perfect alcoholic summer drink.

Some Extra Tips
  • The secret here is the use of fresh ingredients. Use fresh, sweet cherries and make sure to squeeze your own lemon juice!
  • You can whip up a whole pitcher and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
