vegetarian vegan dairy_free gluten_free egg_free nut_free soy_free blender
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 cup raw raw agave
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries
  • 1 whole lime with skin on chopped roughly
  • 4 – 6 cups sparkling water
  1. Place the lime juice and agave in a saucepan and stir on a low heat until agave is fully dissolved – about 1 minute. Allow this syrup to cool.
  2. Place the syrup in your blender (I like to use my Vitamix) with the cherries and whole lime, and puree in the blender until nice and frothy.
  3. Transfer to a glass jug and pour in the desired amount of sparkling water.
  4. Garnish with mint leaves and lime wedges.
  5. You could add a squeeze of fresh ginger juice for an added zing. YUM!

Serves 4.

Piggy Cooking Tips

freeze fresh lime juice in ice cube trays for later

Fresh limes can be really expensive when they are not in season. To ensure you always have a stash of fresh lime juice, freeze juice in ice cube trays and defrost them as you need them for recipes. These ice cubes also make fantastic additions to flavour water, mocktails and smoothies.
