Ingredients
  

Cherry Limeade

  • 0.75 cup fresh lime juice from about 6 to 8 limes
  • 0.5 cup cherry syrup or grenadine adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar optional, to balance tart limes
  • 4 cups soda water or lemon lime soda well chilled
  • 3 cups ice crushed ice preferred

Notes

Chill all ingredients before mixing for best flavor and fizz. Adjust sweetness before adding soda to avoid over-stirring. For a closer Sonic-style taste, use lemon lime soda instead of plain soda water.
