Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons of maraschino cherry juice
- 1 ounce of grenadine, commercial or homemade cherry syrup, or a combination
- Lemon-lime soda (like 7-up, Sprite, Sierra Mist)
- Crushed ice
- 2 wedges of lime
- 1 maraschino cherry with stem, for garnish
Add cherry juice and syrup to a 12-ounce glass and top with lemon-lime soda to fill glass about halfway; stir to blend. Fill glass with crushed ice, top off with additional soda, if needed, then squeeze two lime wedges in and drop them on top; add a maraschino cherry and straw. There you have it, delicious cherry lemonade.
Cook's Notes: I use Sierra Mist Natural. Good choices for commercial cherry syrups are DaVinci, Torani, Hawaiian Shaved, Juicy Juice and other snow cone brands of syrup. If you want to go for a pitcher, a 1/2 gallon is 64 ounces, or a little more than 5 of these 12-ounce glasses of cherry lemonade will do the trick.
