This thirst-quenching Cherry Lemonade recipe is the perfect way to cool off during a long, hot summer! It is easy to make and so refreshing, you will want to drink it all year long!

Why I created this recipe:

Welcome to this month’s Cooking with Astrology “Cancer”. It is hard to believe that it has already been a full year since my first Cooking with Astrology post. This year I am going to change things up a bit, and each of the meals will be a picnic.

I started with Cancer last year, but did not start imaginary dates until Leo {John Stamos}. Well my inspiration is the same this year as it was last year. I just never mentioned that Richie Sambora was the one that inspired the meal.

For those of you that are scratching your heads right now, Richie is the former lead guitarist for Bon Jovi. 😉  His mother is from Sicily, so I stuck with an Italian theme for today’s meal.

We start with a Turkey on Ciabatta with Sun-dried Tomato Aioli, Provolone, and Arugula with a side of Healthy Italian Pasta Salad. and for dessert we had a Tropical Cantaloupe Salad. It’s not exactly Italian, but it is perfect for our picnic…and that’s all that matters!

How to make Cherry Lemonade:

Just fill each of your glasses with ice {as much as you like}.

Add .33 cup to 0.5 cup of Cherry Simple Syrup and 1 cup of lemonade. Stir to combine.

Everyone has different tastes, so that is why I gave such a wide range in measurements with the cherry simple syrup. The sweetness level of your lemonade will also make a difference. Start with less and add as much as you would like. Garnish with cherries and lemon slices and serve.
