Ingredients

8 servings

3 cups about 1 lb Fresh (or frozen) Northwest cherries
1 cup lemon juice (from about 6 medium lemons)
1 cup sugar (you can use 3/4 cup if you like)
6 -8 cups club soda (to taste)
Lemon slices and Ice to serve

Instructions

Rinse, drain and pit your cherries.
In a blender, combine 3 cups pitted cherries, 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 cup sugar. If you're cutting down on sugar in your life, feel free to use 3/4 cup sugar. Blend until smooth. You don't want pieces of cherry to get stuck in your straw.
Fill a glass half way with ice. Pour 2-3 Tbsp of your cherry syrup over your ice and add club soda to taste. It's usually 1/4 cup syrup to 3/4 cup club soda. Top with a fresh cherry and serve. You're gonna love the fizzle. My sisters both said this was restaurant quality except WAY cheaper!
