Lemonade fits the bill as a refreshing summertime drink while you're cooling at the pool, finishing lawn work, or just need a break. I love the way pink lemonade looks, but I don't want the unnecessary red food coloring or high fructose corn syrup that can be found in most commercial brands.

Blending in cherries makes your lemonade naturally flavorful, pretty and pink. I just bought a huge bag of the Bing variety, recalling the scene from 'The Witches of Eastwick' wherein Cher and friends are gobbling down fresh cherries while Jack Nicholson -- playing the Devil -- has to spit out the pits.

I don't mind them so much; they come out easily with a paring knife or an inexpensive cherry pitter.
