Ah.... Cherry Limeade

Here are the main characters, I mean, ingredients! A nice size pitcher (room for mixing), a jar of Maraschino cherries, 1/2 c sugar, 5-7 limes and 1/2 pitcher full of crushed ice.

Roll each Lime for maximum juice.

I opted to slice each one, to make hand juicing easier... yes, I said HAND JUICING! Ugh :)

Squeeze all the limes into the pitcher, add sugar, ice and cherries with juice. Mix well and taste test. If more sugar and water are needed, add it at this time. I also leave the lime slices in the pitcher for added flavor but don't leave it in for more than a few hours, it will end up making the limeade very bitter.

ENJOY!!!!
