Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (560g) frozen dark sweet cherries
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) chilled water
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lime juice
  • 3 tbsp (60ml) raw honey
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 4 fresh cherries
  • 4 sprigs fresh mint

Instructions:

  1. Add the 4 cups (560g) of frozen cherries to the blender canister.
  2. Pour in the 2 tbsp (30ml) of lime juice, 3 tbsp (60ml) of honey, and 1 tsp (5ml) of vanilla extract.
  3. Pulse 5-7 times until the cherries are broken into small, pebble sized shards. Note: This protects your motor from overheating.
  4. Pour in the 1/2 cup (120ml) of chilled water or club soda.
  5. Blend on a medium high setting for 30-60 seconds.
  6. Use a tamper or stop the blender to stir with a spatula, pushing the fruit down until the mixture is a uniform, crimson snow.
  7. Taste the blend. If it's too tart for your liking, stir in one more tablespoon of honey and pulse briefly.
  8. Pour the mixture into your chilled glasses.
  9. Top each glass with a fresh cherry and a sprig of mint.
