Instructions
Begin by pitting the cherries. Then add cherries and sugar to small pot. Bring cherries to a simmer then stir frequently until softened, about 5 minutes. Make sure not to let sugar burn.
Put cherry mixture into high-powered blender or food processor and process until very smooth, about 1 minute. Strain juice through fine mesh sieve or cheese cloth and set aside.
Combine cherry juice with lemonade and vodka or sparkling water, if using, and stir together until well mixed.
Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices and cherries! You can add a vodka floater if you're looking for a boozier option!
