My favorite summer time drink! If you need me during the heat of the summer you can find me sipping this Cherry Limeade poolside!
I know it’s not technically summer yet but it’s hot here in the south and we are in full summer swing.
Hanging out pool side and sipping on this Cherry Limeade is how I plan to spend most of my summer days.
This drink is so refreshing and mimic’s the classic Sonic specialty drink! This super simple drink to make will make any summer day cool and refreshing!
How to make Homemade Cherry Limeade:
Homemade Cherry Limeade is really easy to make. Take your Lemon-Lime Soda and pour it into a glass over ice.
Pour in your maraschino cherry juice and the juice of a quarter lime. Add some maraschino cherries and a lime slice to top it off. Enjoy!
Ingredient Notes:
- Sprite – Use Sprite or 7-Up. You can use Zero Sugar as well to make it lighter.
- Maraschino Syrup – Use the syrup in the jar of cherries.
- Limes – quartered for the juice and sliced for garnish.
- Maraschino Cherries – as little or as many as you want to add!
How to make Cherry Limeade:
Pour Sprite over crushed ice. Next add in your maraschino syrup and the juice from 1 lime wedge (1/4 of a lime).
Mix with your straw. Top with another lime wedge and cherries! Enjoy!
Make it your own:
Once you have your drink mixed as more limes or cherries as desired.
I love adding more cherries, it’s like a gift at the bottom of the cup!
Whether on your porch or by the pool, enjoy this creation!
Make a larger portion of this recipe:
You can make this in a bulk size if you would like as well!
Grab a 2 Liter, use 4 tablespoons of the syrup, and add as many limes and cherries as you would like!
Can you make this ahead of time?
Yes, this drink can be made ahead of time! It is best drunk right away, but within 24 hours is the best!
It can be stored for the max 2-3 days. Please remember that the soda will lose it’s carbonation the longer it sits.
