Written by One of the random things on our summer fun list is: Make cherry limeades.
We all love cool, refreshing drinks during the summer, and it sounded like a fun afternoon treat.
My sweet mother bought me The Pioneer Woman Cooks Food From My Frontier for Mother’s Day. As I was looking through all of the amazing recipes last weekend, I came across Ree’s recipe for Cherry Limeade. I instantly knew that it would be the first cherry limeade recipe that we would make this summer.
I was so glad that it was…because, it was delicious!
And, to make the day special, I served the littles the cherry limeades in champagne glasses. It presented just another opportunity for us to “cheers” the summer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 2-liter bottle lemon-lime soda (we used ginger ale)
- 1 5-ounce jar maraschino cherries, with juice
- Thin lime slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Make sure all of the ingredients are cold.
- Add the lime juice to the pitcher.
- Add the sugar.
- Pour the soda into the pitcher.
- Pour the jar of cherries into the pitcher.
- Add the lime slices.
- Mix it all together and serve.
This recipe is from the cookbook The Pioneer Woman Cooks Food From My Frontier.
I highly, highly recommend this cookbook. It has beautiful pictures and easy, delicious recipes. I made two recipes from it last week, and I plan to continue cooking out of it all summer.
I am thrilled you are enjoying the cookbook. I have not turned a page in it yet. The limeade looks soooo good. I think Nathan might like this one.
