Easy Cherry Lemonade is Just Right

This drink is not too sweeet and not too tart. It has just the right amount of sweetness and quenches the thirst perfectly. It is hard not to chug down the first glass and pour another one right away.

At least, that is what my husband does. I must admit, I had two full glasses of this yesterday.

Cherry Lemonade Garnish Ideas

If you are entertaining this summer, make sure that you have plenty of this lemonade on hand. Take this from an ordinary lemonade to a party beverage in minutes with pretty garnishes.

Maraschino or dark sweet cherries, slices of lemon, a sprig of mint are all great options for a beautiful and great tasting garnish.

Be careful when adding cherries with stems or with pits as a garnish. People may not pay attention and choke on them.
