Prepare the Cherries
In a blender or food processor, combine the pitted fresh cherries and blend until smooth. You can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother cherry puree.

Juice the Limes
Cut the fresh limes in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. You should have approximately 1/2 cup of lime juice from the limes.

Make Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water (for this recipe, use 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water). Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.
