a delicious, moist cookie made from real fresh figs. You can’t just stop with one because they are so good. These freeze wonderfully, too.

I gave this 4 stars, it is truly a GREAT base! But, I use some of the cherry juice in my pitchers. Makes a difference. Thanks for sharing!
This was way too tart so I added in another bottle of lemon lime soda and used 2 jars of maraschino cherries instead of 1. ( I actually used diet 7-up) OMGosh!! It is so good!! I made it at a baby shower and then at my mother’s 76th birthday party. I actually ran out of it!! I’ll definitely be making it at all of my gatherings! Thank you Cindy77 for sharing your recipe!!
This was good but much more tart than what I would consider cherry limeade. I personally liked it this way but the kids preferred it to be sweeter. The second time I made it, I used two jars of cherries including the cherries. The kids loved it and came back for more.
This is special drink I make for my daughter and her friends. Love this drink.
Yummy! We played around with this and ended up using 1 can of Limeade, juice from whole 10oz can cherries, 1 24 oz can coconut water, and 1 liter of Fresca, yummy!
I’ve made this a couple times after a coworker made it for a staff party. It is SO good! I use the original recipe for the kids and work. I tried it with coconut rum as an “adult bev” and it was amazing! I’d consider adding some plain soda water to cut the sweetness.
Loved this recipe, so easy, easy to make in big batches for pool parties, etc. The kids loved it served as is…. the adults loved it with a little vodka added in…if you are a lime martini lover you will love it. Enjoy.
Tart, but I like it! Used 1 1/2 liters of Sprite, 1 can of frozen limeade and kept everything else the same. Perfection!
This is really good and great with tequila.
Delicious!!! I used diet lemon-lime soda. Next time I may freeze and turn into a slushy drink for our summer parties!
Made for a tropical party.It went over so well that we were going to run short,so added extra soda.Went over well both way!
This is a great starter recipe. I mixed 1 can frozen limeade and 1 bottle of lemon lime soda and it was perfect to me. I think if I would have added the other can of limeade it would have been unbearably tart.
kid loved it…better/more lime than the Sonic version. I used Key Lime juice. Only problem with as written is that it makes enought for a crowd. I only want 1 serving at a time…so I mixed up everything except the soda in a jar. I use 1/4c of mix to a 12 oz can of sprite 1 at a time to make “single serve” size.
this is better than sonics by far i’m speechless
I have sour/tart tastebuds so I loved the recipe and actually used a little less than 2 liters of Sprite. My husband mixed it with vodka for an awesome cocktail and almost drank the whole pitcher! I also added a little grenadine to the pitcher.
Not my personal favorite, but the die-hard cherry limeade people loved it.
This tasted just lik Sonic’s. GREAT!!
This is a great summer time drink. We have friends over and we make a pitcher or two of this every time (one for the kids and one for the adults). Also good with Rum or Vodka added.
I love this recipe! However, I am not in love with high fructose corn syrup, which is the number one ingredient in all the limeade concentrate. Wish there was a way to make this with lower sugar.
This is a wonderful recipe. If you would like to add alcohol, Cherry Vodka is fabulous with this concoction. You can actually save your cherry juice if you want.
Four stars as written. Five stars with the extra bottle of lemon-lime soda. Pretty tart otherwise. Just be prepared with an extra bottle of soda, or you might be disappointed. To our family, it was perfect with two. Will definitely make again…yummy!
