Homemade Cherry Limeade

We were in Canton, TX this past weekend and got a Cherry Limeade that was delicious...and $4!!! It was gone in about 2 minutes, so I decided that I needed to find a way to replicate the recipe. I looked online, but didn't want to mess with making a simple syrup. I played around and figured out a great little recipe. It is a perfect poolside treat for this Fourth of July....and the 5th of July and the 6th of July! Lol! Hope you enjoy!

In a large glass add the juice of 2 limes, 1 tablespoon of sugar, splash of grenadine, and a cherry. Fill the glass 2/3 of the way full of ice. Use another slightly smaller glass to make a shaker. Shake them together several times. I recommend doing this over the sink...hehe (oops!). Then fill the glass with water. It seems like a lot of water, but once you stir it together it is quite tasty. Garnish with a lime and a cherry and enjoy! Mmmm!
We are also going to try this using splenda instead of the sugar...save a few calories here and there.
