We tried this recipe with blueberries - not as successful. I am not sure if the same problem would arise with cherries, but the skin of the blue berries was not a pleasant texture. Had we of added the seltzer then strained the blended mixture, I think the blueberry flavor would have been more delicous. Also, the seltzer water to "lemonade" was not what I expected. We actually preferred a higher lemonade to seltzer ratio than the other way around. Other wise, this was a yummy summer drink!

This sounds absolutely fantastic. I'm a diabetic and my sister and her hubby just had gastric bypass surgery. We all would absolutely love this and it is so easy to use a sugar substitute and sugar free stuff that this can be enjoyed by all!! Thank you!
