 Easy Cherry Limeade Recipe

Summer Drink Recipes

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I have been compensated to take part in this campaign. All opinions are 100% my own.

Summer is barreling down on us here in Florida. We have already been in the high 90's and Summer hasn't even officially begun yet . When the hot weather sets in the only thing to do is make a delicious summer drink then sit back and relax. If you are lucky enough to have a pool to lounge by or you are heading to the beach or park for a picnic you have got to stock up on those summer drink recipes.

What  I love to do this time of year is create summer drink recipes that are easy to make and taste great.

Some of my favorite family recipes  have been for ice cold summer drink recipes that I have  thrown together on the spur of the moment and enjoyed by the entire family during the hot summer months.

 I love a recipe that will work double or even triple duty. A simple base recipe like this one for a black cherry simple syrup can be turned into so many different drinks. A homemade cherry soda, a cherry limeade drink or a cherry limeade party punch recipe can be made by starting with this black  cherry simple syrup recipe.

Doesn't this Cherry Limeade recipe look beautiful in the new Ball Heritage Blue jars? If you are a regular reader you have seen the Ball True Blue limited edition Heritage  jars here on my blog already. They have only been available for a short time and they just can't keep them in stock. Last week I saw them being sold individually at Walmart. I was in a hurry and didn't grab them. Today I went back and they were all gone! I should have grabbed them when I saw them.

How To Make the Cherry Limeade Drink

To make the Cherry Limeade Recipe  as mentioned above you will need to make a cherry simple syrup. Simple syrups are simple to make, hence the name simple syrup and open up the world of many homemade drinks. You can make homemade sodas, flavored iced tea, lime or lemonades, alcoholic drinks and many more drink recipes then I can include in this one blog post.
