Cherry Limeades

 

Cherry Limeades

 

This summer-time, refreshing drink is all about presentation.  Served in a white wine glass with a lime and cherry garnish makes it festive.  You can also replace the sparkling water with Prosecco for an adult version of this drink.

 

12 ounces frozen limeade concentrate, thawed

3 ½ cups cold water

1/4 cup red maraschino cherry juice (from jar)

2 cups sparkling water (Pellegrino, lemon-lime sparkling water)

 

In a pitcher, stir together the limeade, water and cherry juice. Fill each glass with ice, slice of lime, a red maraschino cherry and pour the limeade mixture to 2/3 full.  Add the last third with the sparkling water. Serves 6.
