My husband and I are obsessed with seltzer water. We always have been. My mom finally convinced us to get one (actually, she bought it for us for Christmas) and needless to say, it gets used every day (no, really). We are now avid believers and it’s awesome because we can add all kinds of juices or other adult beverages to it, and we are always trying something new. Seltzer water is especially refreshing in the summer. It’s a nice change from water and still provides hydration, but with a little fun. Either way, if you don’t have a Soda Stream, I highly recommend one (get it here). Way better for the environment and then you can make a little or a lot. I saw cherries at the store this weekend and got so excited! Finally, a reasonable, affordable price. With summer here (well, almost) and the warm weekend we had, I thought I’d change up my usual go to when I’m not sure what to put in my seltzer water (which would be cranberry and lime). Cherries it is! I’m so excited to share this one with you! Hope you like this refreshing summer spritzer just as much as I do! If you already drink seltzer, what do you put in yours?
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherries, washed and pitted
- 3-4 tablespoons of lime juice (1 lime, juiced, + more for garnish if desired)

I came over from your post at Delicious Obsessions. I have loved seltzer water (we call it sparkling water) for many years, at least two decades or longer. I introduced my children to it when they were tiny and they love it too. Even plain. What I love the most is the bubbles hitting the back of my throat. A couple of years ago I bought my son a Soda Stream for Christmas but he’s since moved out on his own, so we no longer have one here. I need to invest in one because my mom loves sparkling water and right now we’re buying it in the can which I am sure is lined with BPA and is aluminum. ACK! Thanks for this recipe, it looks wonderful. Cherries aren’t on sale yet here in Arizona, but we’ve got strawberries and blueberries. Thanks again for this delicious recipe!
