By bklynmommy

Ingredients

• 4 cups Cherry Juice
• 2 cups Sugar
• Lemon-Lime Sparkling Water
• Orange Slices, for garnish
• Maraschino Cherries, for garnish
• A few Swashbuckler-Sword Thingies :)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the 4 cups of cherry juice over moderate heat until simmering. Reduce by half. Remove off of heat then add two cups of sugar, stir and let cool completely. Recipe makes about 3 cups of syrup. Leftover syrup can be stored in the fridge up to one month.

Fill glass 2/3 full of sparkling water, add a third of the cherry juice {more or less to taste} and garnish with fresh orange slices and maraschino cherries.
