1
Prepare the Cherry-Lime Base
In a saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, lime juice, lime zest, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the cherries are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2
Strain the Mixture
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to separate the liquid from the solids. Use the back of a spoon to press the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
3
Mix with Club Soda
In a large pitcher, combine the strained cherry-lime mixture with club soda. Stir gently to combine.
4
Serve
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the cherry-lime mixture over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and additional lime zest if desired.
