Refreshing Cherry Limeade is the perfect way to quench your thirst this summer! Cool, delicious, sweet and tart, this quick and easy cherry limeade recipe is a winner! One of our favorite summer drinks!

Ingredients

Limeade:

  • 8 to 10 limes, divided, for juice and garnish
  • 2 liters lemon-lime soda
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup cherry juice
  • 10 oz jar maraschino cherries with syrup
  • Crushed ice

Instructions

  1. Juice Limes: Juice enough limes for 1 cup of lime juice.
  2. I used about 7 limes.

  3. Make Simple Syrup: Combine half of the lime juice and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until just simmering, stirring frequently. Once sugar dissolves, remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Mix Ingredients: In a pitcher, combine reserved lime juice, simple syrup, lemon-lime soda, and cherry juice. Stir well.
  5. Add Cherries: Add the jar of maraschino cherries with syrup to the pitcher. Add crushed ice and sliced limes.
  6. Serve: Pour over ice, garnish with cherries and limes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a tarter Cherry Limeade, omit sugar and simple syrup, adding all lime juice in step 3.
  • Tools Needed: Citrus Juicer
