Ingredients
Scale
Drink Mix
- 1 jar (10 ounces) Maraschino cherries, plus juice
- 1 can (12 ounces) frozen limeade, thawed
- 1 bottle (2-liters) Sprite (lemon-lime soda)
Garnish
- 3 limes, sliced
- Maraschino cherries from the jar
Instructions
- Mix Cherry Juice and Limeade: In a large pitcher, pour half of the juice from the jar of maraschino cherries along with the thawed limeade. Using only half of the limeade helps keep the drink from becoming too tart.
- Add Sprite and Stir: Pour the entire 2-liter bottle of Sprite (lemon-lime soda) into the pitcher. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Serve and Garnish: Fill glasses with ice, pour the cherry limeade over the ice, then garnish each glass with maraschino cherries and fresh lime slices for a colorful and flavorful finish. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of limeade according to your preferred tartness.
- For a stronger cherry flavor, add more maraschino cherries and juice.
- This recipe is quick to prepare and requires no cooking.
- Make sure the limeade is fully thawed before mixing for best texture.
- Serve immediately or keep chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
