Cherry-Nectarine Drink

If possible, use a ripe, fragrant nectarine — this makes the drink noticeably more aromatic.

If the flesh is very firm, cut it into smaller pieces so the blender can puree it more quickly.

Start with a small amount of lemon juice and add a little more after blending if needed to adjust the acidity.

For an extra-chilled drink, briefly blend in a few ice cubes.
