Directions
Tos the cherries, almond milk, half a cup of crushed ice, lime zest, lime juice, fresh basil, and a splash of almond extract into your blender. Blend everything until the cherries and basil are fully mixed and the drink feels nice and smooth. If you’d like it a bit thicker, add more crushed ice and blend again. On the other hand, if it’s too thick for your taste, just pour in a little water and give it another quick blend. Taste it and adjust the flavors if needed, then pour into glasses and enjoy!
How To Plate This Dish
Serve in a tall glass over ice with a garnish of lime slices and a sprig of basil. It pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches or fresh fruit salad for a refreshing treat.
Proper Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours. Stir well before serving again, as ingredients may settle or separate over time.
