- Pour into two glasses, garnish with a cherry or lime wedge, and serve immediately.
Notes
Pro Tips
- Make it sweeter: Add a touch more agave if your cherries are extra tart.
- More heat, please: Toss in a small slice of fresh jalapeño before blending for serious spice lovers.
- Hosting a party? Double or triple the batch and serve in a chilled pitcher for easy pouring.
