01 -

It comes together in under ten minutes with zero cooking, which is a lifesaver when turning on the stove feels criminal.
The combination of tart lime and sweet cherry tastes like something you would pay twelve dollars for at a beach resort.

02 -

Frozen cherries will save you from the messy, stained fingers that come with pitting fresh ones, and they make a thicker drink.
If your cherries are particularly tart, you may need almost double the sweetener, so always taste before serving.

03 -

Chill your glasses in the freezer for at least fifteen minutes before pouring to keep the slush frozen longer on hot days.
Swapping orange juice for mango or peach nectar creates a completely different drink that is equally delicious and worth trying at least once.
