#12 Cherry Limeade

Cherry Limeade

Ingredients & Substitutions

Ice: I love using crushed ice, but any ice will do for this cold and refreshing drink.

Cherries: When adding the cherries, be sure to reserve the cherry juice (syrup) to pour into the chilled beverage.

Limes: Stock up on limes for Cherry Limeade! You will need about a cup of freshly squeezed lime juice, which is about 8-10 limes, juiced. Chill the juice until ready to add to the drink. In addition, you will need a couple more to add slices of lime.

Sugar: Mix superfine sugar, also known as caster sugar, with lime juice. If you don’t have any on hand, simply pulse some granulated sugar in a food processor for a homemade version!

Soda: Use your favorite brand
