Pistachio Free Turmeric-Cinnamon Cherry Lime Cooler
Deep ruby-red and fragrant with warm spice, this chilled drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Tart cherry juice brings a bold, slightly sour backbone that pairs beautifully with fresh lime juice, while honey rounds out the edges with just enough sweetness. A pinch of black pepper might sound unexpected in a cold drink, but it's the secret that makes the turmeric and cinnamon really bloom and linger on the palate. The whole thing comes together with a quick whisk — no blender, no cooking, no fuss. It's naturally free from nuts and tree nuts of any kind, so you can sip without a second thought about what's hiding in the glass. Serve it over a generous pile of ice with a lime wheel on the rim and it looks like something straight off a restaurant menu.
