i havent made this drink but i have worked at sonic for the past five years... my input would be one lime wedge for a 12 oz can of sprite. the recipe here is triple the correct amount. also, get the snow cone cherry syrup like at walmart and put an ounce or two in there with a marashino cherry... that is how the sonic girls do it

Yesterday I went through the drive-through at Sonic and was able to see them make my Route 44 Diet Cherry Limeade, and it was almost exactly like your recipe. They used ice, Sprite Zero, cherry syrup, and the juice squeezed from two lime halves. I see that DaVinci has cherry syrup (and a sugar free one), which might even taste more like the original.

Yuck! This tastes absolutely nothing like the real thing. Next time I'll use grenadine or cherry syrup. That cherry juicy juice made it taste bitter and nothing like Sonic cherry limeade. If you like the real deal, I'd recommend avoiding this recipe.

This was a nice combination of sweet and tart. It didn't taste much like Sonic to me, but was a nice bubbly fruit drink anyway. ;o) Also good if you put the glass in the freezer just long enough to get slushy.

We don't have a Sonic up here, but my DS's really enjoyed it, used Juicy Juice Cherry, I had a little sip of theirs and I found it very refreshing. Used 1/2 of squeezed lime per serving

I live very close to a Sonic, yet have never been but I know of someone who has these occasionaly and recommended it. Very good, and will make this again.

I have not tried this recipe however I think you could use the juice from marichino cherries as I think Sonic puts those in the drinks as well. The juice from the cherries would be concentrated enough to do the trick. Just a thought..

Try Grenadine in place of cherry juice

My summer project is cleaning out my basement. This is the drink that keeps me going! Love this stuff! I use cherry syrup (you can find this at Cost Plus) instead of the cherry juice.

I love Sonic's Cherry Limeade. This is really very good. Makes my tongue curl up. DH and kids really liked it. DH spiked his with a little vodkee. This is a great refreshing drink. Thanks.
