Oh man, Summer is about a month away and I am excited. It's the time of the year when I feel my best. Warm temperatures along with plenty of sunlight. I can't really think of a better time of the year.

With that being said, those temps can be get a little too warm from time to time. On days like that, I tend to reach for a cool refreshing drink.

So, in preparation for the hotter months, we're sharing our cherry limeade recipe. The beverage is bubbly, crisp, and oh so satisfying on a hot day. The limeade strikes a good balance between sweet and tart.

Two mugs of homemade cherry limeade with fresh lime.

How to make a cherry limeade:

In a large pitcher or glass container, combine the soda, syrup, and lime juice.
Carefully combine the soda, cherry syrup, and lime juice. I say, carefully, because, the soda may fizz up as you add the other ingredients.
Serve the cherry limeade over ice and garnish with fresh lime wedges and maraschino cherries.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Easy Cherry Limeade Recipe Tips:

If you don't have cherry syrup handy, you can try substituting grenadine or even Maraschino cherry juice.
Should you decide to use lime concentrate, start by only using two tablespoons. Then, taste test the cherry limeade soda before adding more.
For another unique twist on the recipe, consider substituting ginger ale for the lemon lime soda.
