Zesty Cherry Lime Drink (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1¼ cup white sugar.

02 - 1¼ cup squeezed lime juice.

03 - 1 (16 oz) container maraschino cherries including liquid.

04 - 2 liter fizzy lemon-lime drink.

05 - ½ cup tart or standard cherry juice.

01 - Warm up lime juice with sugar in a small pot using low heat. Keep stirring until sugar dissolves completely and turns into a thick syrup.

02 - Turn off heat and allow your syrup to cool down all the way.

03 - Transfer your cooled syrup to a large pitcher. Drop in cherries, pour in soda and add cherry juice.

04 - Give everything a good stir and pour over ice cubes. If you want, add lime slices and mint leaves on top.

01 - You can blend cherries with syrup earlier for a deeper taste.

02 - Pour in the soda right before you're ready to drink for best bubbles.

03 - Making it the day before works fine and it'll still be fizzy.
