Adjust sweetness by adding more lemonade or a touch of honey if needed.Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving as it may separate.Variations: Swap cherries for strawberries or raspberries for a different fruity twist. Add a handful of ice cubes if you prefer a frostier slushie. For a creamy version, blend in a scoop of vanilla yogurt.
