Cherry Limeade Recipe... Surprise Recipe Swap





Hello foodies! It's once again the 20th of the month and time for the Surprise Recipe Swap! Thanks to Jutta from Hungry Little Girl for hosting every month!

 This months blog is The Texan New Yorker! I was so excited to go snooping around Julie's blog and find a great recipe to make. She has so many great ice cream recipes that caught my eye. Definitely have to make one of those sometime soon. Finally after much debate, I chose to make her Cherry Limeade recipe. I am a sucker for fruity, yummy drinks and this one sounded perfect since I love cherries so much. Make sure you stop by and check out Julie's recipes!

 My daughter and I both adored this limeade. It would be super refreshing on a hot summer day and I can't wait to make it for my next BBQ. The only change I made was increasing the amount of cherries and reducing the amount of sugar, since I bought a 10 ounce jar of cherries. There's never too many cherries in my opinion! :)

 I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Cherry Limeade (print recipe)

    I did a drink this time around too! I'm all for Lime-Lemony drinks and I never thought of pairing it with cherry! The weather here is terrible and I'll be making this drink soon!

    The addition of the cherries is great! This sounds so perfect for the warmer weather we start to get now - this recipe and my balcony are calling my name :)

    Isn't it amazing how easy this is to make. I can't tell you how much money I wasted at Sonic before I decided to make my own.

    I'm so glad you loved the cherry limeade! And I really like your idea of more cherries-less sugar, I will have to try that next time I make this. Thanks!!
