    Ingredients

    • About 2 cups crushed or pebble ice, enough to fill the cup three-quarters full
    • 12 oz cold lemon-lime soda
    • 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges
    • 2 tablespoons cherry syrup or juice from a jar of maraschino cherries
    • 2 maraschino cherries

    Equipment

    • Large cup
    • Straw

    Instructions

    1. 1

      Fill the cup about three-quarters full with crushed ice.

    2. 2

      Squeeze 3 of the lime wedges over the ice and drop them into the cup.

    3. 3

      Pour in the cherry syrup, then slowly add the soda.

    4. 4

      Stir once, top with the cherries and the last lime wedge, and serve.

    Recipe notes

    • For a strawberry limeade, swap the cherry syrup for 2 tablespoons of strawberry syrup or blended fresh strawberries.
    • Crushed ice matters more than you'd think: it chills the soda fast and keeps it fizzy.
    • This is our own take, not Sonic's recipe. Culinary Card isn't affiliated with Sonic.
