Southern Blush Limeade

This simple refreshing drink is fast becoming one of my family's favorite for a hot day. It is a beautiful drink to serve and it really hits the spot when the outside temperatures soar! Enjoy.


3/4 cup Lime juice (I use the juice in the bottle, but you could use fresh squeezed)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup maraschino cherry juice
2 liter Sprite
Maraschino cherries and lime or lemon slices for garnish

Mix above in a glass pitcher. Beautiful. You could do a low calorie version and use a sugar substitute like splenda for the sugar. If you do that, up the sugar substitute equivalent to one cup of sugar. Instead of using Sprite, use 2 liter of lime carbonated water. I don't use sugar substitutes but it is just a thought!

grace and peace,
julie
