Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup sugar
Zest of 1 lemon plus juice of 4 lemons

Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and stir in the lemon juice. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to chill for at least 1 hour.
  • For the bug juice: Place the cherries in a blender with the lemon simple syrup. Blend on high speed until the cherries are completely pulverized. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer.
  • Combine the cherry juice with 3 cups water in a large pitcher. Serve over ice.
