We enjoyed homemade Cherry Limeade with BLT’s and corn-on-the-cob. Perfect for summer! It’s a little tart but my boys like it that way so no complaints. I like to order it when we’re out to eat sometimes but it’s expensive in restaurants but so easy to make your own cherry limeade at home. Fresh lime makes all the difference in this drink.
Cherry Limeade
Ingredients:
- ⅔ cups Sugar
- ⅔ cups Water
- ½ cups Lime Juice (approximately 4 1/2 Limes; Use The Remainder Of Limes For Garnish)
- 1-½ cup Pure Cherry Juice (no Sweeteners Added)
- 2 cups Club Soda
Directions:
- Begin by dissolving the sugar in the water over medium heat to create a simple syrup. Set aside when done to let cool completely.
- While the simple syrup is cooling, juice the limes.
- When the simple syrup has cooled, pour that in a pitcher. Add the lime juice, cherry juice, and club soda. (Do not add the club soda until ready to serve.)
- Stir all together to combine well and serve immediately over crushed ice or cover and refrigerate.
Yum! Tastes like summer! What a treat. What’s your favorite homemade summer drink?
