Happy Hour Drink Recipe: Sonic Cherry Limeade
My thoughts of Sonic cherry limeade this morning really got me wanting one. And, because Sonic continues to torment me by not opening a drive-in in Seattle (Sonic, are you listening?!), I guess I'm going to have to make my own. I found this recipe on RecipeZaar, and it sounds reasonable, though I don't know if it's truly the Sonic version. Now, for those of you happy hourers who think all happy hour drinks should contain alcohol--well, this one's for all the pregnant ladies out there, sweltering in the summer heat! (And besides, I suppose you could just add a shot of vodka, if you really needed to.)
Sonic Cherry Limeade
Ingredients:
1 12-ounce can Sprite
3 lime wedges
1/4 cup cherry juice
Directions:
1. Fill a 16-ounce glass two-thirds full with ice. Pour Sprite over the ice.
2. Squeeze the lime wedges over the drink and then drop them in.
3. Add the cherry juice and stir briefly. Serve with a straw.
Makes one 16-ounce drink.

Being born and raised in Seattle I feel your pain about no Sonics. You just need to do what I did and move to someplace with them :).
This looks almost like what they do but without the special Sonic Ice (which stores let you buy by the bag) it's just not the same.

The Sprite kind of surprises me, but I guess it makes sense for an extra-sweet drink. I always thought they were made with soda water and that maraschino cherry syrup.

I made the sonic drink just like recommended. The only other thing
I did different was to pour it into the blender! Fantastic!

A friend used to work at a Sonic and the syrup they use is a thick cherry syrup, not marachino cherry syrup at all. None of my local stores carry it..but you might find it online. Hope this helps. If you find a location to buy it, I'd like to know too :)
My friend knows a sonic manager, so Im getting my syrup directly from the source

i work at a sonic in Florida and if you are only using 12 oz of sprite thats like a small drink and that would only get 1 lime and 1/4 oz cherry juice, 20 oz gets 2 limes and 1/2 oz cherry, 32oz gets 3 limes and 3/4 oz, and 44oz gets 4 limes and 1 oz cherry, also your right the cherry syrup we use is much thicker than cherry juice.

I use cherry snow cone syrup it is thick and almost as sweet as what sonic uses, you can buy it at Wal-Mart

If you want an extra bite to your delicious Cherry Limeade replica...Try the new drink created by Captain Morgan lovers...
Captain's Cherry LimeBite!
Captain Morgan Lime Bite (the NEW silver spiced, lime infused rum)
Lemon-Lime Soda
Fresh Limes
splash of cherry syrup

yumm..
if you don't have fresh limes, a drop of sweet n sour will also suffice... but it's not as pretty :)

Tucked away in our nike air max 2010 mens running shoes subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long nike air max 2010 trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out air max 2009 windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at nike red air max 2009 crossing, of cattle grazing on air max 95 black distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon nike air 95 row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling air max 90 hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain blue air max 90 for women day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags nike air max 180 waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our black nike air max shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, bing the minutes for nike air max light shoes loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for womens nike air max station.Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one air max ltd classic place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of air max shoes store life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more nike air max white mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more women air max shoes sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come men air max shoes soon enough. http://www.sellnikeairmax.com/
