Cherry Limeade
Description
This Cherry Limeade is made by stirring together thawed limeade concentrate and maraschino cherries along with their juice to impart both citrus tartness and a sweet cherry flavor. Adding lemon-lime soda provides effervescence and a bright, citrusy sweetness that balances the tartness from the limeade. Garnishing with fresh lime slices enhances the citrus aroma and adds visual appeal, while mint sprigs offer a fragrant herbal note if desired.
The simplicity of the ingredients and quick preparation make this a convenient homemade alternative to bottled sodas or commercial limeades. It can be served over ice to keep cool.
Ingredients
- 1 can limeade concentrate frozen
- 10 ounce maraschino cherries without stems, jar
- 1 liter lemon-lime soda
- 2 limes sliced
- mint optional, sprigs
Instructions
- Place the frozen limeade concentrate into a large pitcher. Add the jar of cherries and cherry juice, and stir to combine.
- Pour in the soda and stir to combine. Add ice as desired.
- Garnish with sliced limes and mint sprigs, then serve.
