Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
• 4 large apples, cored
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, to taste)
• 1 cup cold water
• Ice cubes (for serving)
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Start by washing the cherries and apples thoroughly. Pit the cherries and core the apples, removing any seeds.
2. In a blender, combine the cherries, apples, lemon juice, and cold water. Blend until smooth and the fruits are completely pureed.
3. Taste the juice and add honey if you’d like a touch of extra sweetness. Blend again to mix well.
4. For the smoothest juice, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible.
5. Serve the cherry apple juice over a few ice cubes in chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and a hint of refreshing aroma.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If cherries are out of season, use frozen cherries. Just be sure to thaw them before blending.For a more tart flavor, add a splash of orange juice instead of lemon juice.
• For a special touch, freeze some of the juice in ice cube trays and add the flavored ice cubes to the drink.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a different twist.
• If apples are not available, you can use pears as they offer a similar sweetness and texture.

Pairings and Complements

• Pair this refreshing juice with light snacks like cheese platters, granola bars, or a fresh fruit salad.
• This juice goes wonderfully with breakfast foods such as pancakes, waffles, or toast with jam.
• For a delightful summer treat, serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a mini cherry apple float.
