Cherry Limeade Popsicles
Cherry Limeade Popsicles
1 liter Key Lime Sparkling Water (I used 0 calorie)
1 (12 oz.) package frozen cherries
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 (12 oz.) Limeade Frozen concentrate
Combine the Key Lime Sparkling Water with the frozen cherries, superfine sugar, and Limeade Frozen concentrate in a large blender.
If you don't have a large blender, you may have to do this drink in two separate blends or it most likely will spill out of the blender (I used my Wild Side Jar and Blendtec for this drink and it fit perfectly).
Blend together until smooth. Pout the mixture into popsicle molds. Make sure to not fill up the molds all of the way since they do expand upwards a little bit.
Place in the freezer and allow to freeze overnight.
When ready to enjoy the popsicles, run the mold under warm water for 10-15 seconds, remove the popsicle and enjoy immediately.
