THE BEST CHERRY LIMEADE
A number of years ago, a friend got me hooked on Cherry Limeades from Sonic Drive-In. And since that day, I have never looked back. The only time I’ll actually buy one these days though is when I can get them at half-price during their Happy Hour. The rest of the time, I just make them myself.
JUST LIKE SONIC – MAYBE BETTER!
This recipe is so ridiculously easy, I’m almost embarrassed to share it….almost. Now, I realize you can go to Wal-Mart and pick up some premade Cherry Limeade. And that stuff isn’t half bad. But I prefer to make it myself because I can control the flavors more. And I just think it tastes a bit more like the one from Sonic. Now, are ya paying attention? There’s a lot of ingredients here, don’t want ya gettin’ lost. 😉
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:Sprite
frozen concentrate limeade
maraschino cherries
limes (for serving)
HOW TO MAKE CHERRY LIMEADE (STEP-BY-STEP):
In a large pitcher, combine Sprite…
…frozen limeade and the entire jar of maraschino cherries (including the syrup).
Mix slowly (so it doesn’t bubble over.)
Pour over ice and add a wedge of lime.
Enjoy!

Love Sonic's cherry-limeade… thanks for sharing your recipe!
This looks divine and it's one of my favorite drinks of all time!
One of my fave drinks as well, I am so going to try this, thanks for sharing!!
How easy! Thanks for sharing!
AWESOME! Wish they made sugar free maraschino cherries and I'd be all set. I could drink a gallon of this by myself. Thanks so much for sharing.
Instead of using the juice from your jar of cherries, you can buy bottles of just the cherry syrup. I've been doing this for years…add it to lots of different beverages….cherry always makes it yummier!
Tried this and it was wonderful. If you are looking to save a few calories wal mart verision of crystal light in lime margarita and a splash of grenadine is really good.
Made this – loved it!!
