Ingredients

  • 1-6 Maraschino Cherries
  • 2-4 tbsp Maraschino cherry juice either purchase a bottle of it or use the reserve from your cherry jar. You will need 2-4 tbsp of juice for each drink.
  • 1/2 large large lime
  • 12 ounces Sprite
  • 1/4 cup crushed ice

Instructions

  • Start by slicing your limes up into halves, then take each half and halve them again. Leaving you with 4 slices.
  • Your cherry limeade will start with placing a slice of lime at the bottom of your cup and 1, 2, or 3 cherries at the bottom. If you are a cherry lover, the more the better!

  • Next, pour in the cherry juice, but start with 2 tbsp of maraschino cherry juice. If you want more cherry flavor you may need 4 tbsp of cherry juice.
  • Squeeze a slice of lime into the drink and carefully stir everything up. Garnish with a slice of lime and a couple of cherries.
  • Enjoy!
