Craving Sonic's Diet Cherry Limeade but don't want to drive? This article provides everything you need to make this refreshing drink at home. This copycat recipe tastes just like the real thing, if not even better. It’s easy to make, super budget friendly, and the perfect treat!
Why Make Your Own Diet Cherry Limeade?
Ordering a diet cherry limeade from Sonic is a treat, but the cost can add up. Making your own at home is less costly, and you can alter it any way you’d like! More limey, less cherry, etc. Plus, you have complete control over the ingredients. Diet sodas can be hit or miss. Sometimes, they just taste like artificial sweeteners and chemicals! However, there are a few sparkling gems hidden across the drive-thrus of America that always satisfy with no sugar. Diet cherry limeade from Sonic is one of those gems! It really doesn’t taste diet at all, and you still get everything you love about limeade with significantly less sugar and calories.
Key Ingredients for Diet Cherry Limeade
Here's what you'll need to create this delightful beverage:
- Soda: You can use diet 7UP, diet sprite, or any other generic diet lemon-lime soda. They’ll all work just fine!
- Maraschino cherry syrup: The easiest way to get this syrup is just to buy a jar of maraschino cherries and use the syrup directly from that. However, if you can find a sugar-free cherry syrup, that’ll do the trick too. Torani Sugar Free Black Cherry Syrup is also a good choice. The dark colored Torani Sugar Free Black Cherry Syrup eases you in with its deep hue, then delights you with a surprisingly sweet note over the more familiar delectable cherry flavor. This product is available in 750ml / 25.4 fl. oz.
- Maraschino cherries: You can’t have a limeade without these candy-like cherries floating on top! Diet or no diet, everyone deserves a little treat with their drink.
- Lime juice: For best results, use the juice from freshly squeezed limes.
Making it Boozy
To make this drink boozy, you can add half a cup of vodka to the pitcher. However, you can also get creative with plenty of cherry and lime flavored liquors as well.
Preparation
Mix in large pitcher and pour over crunchy ice!
