This Sonic Cherry Limeade copycat drink recipe is so addicting. Going to the drive-in for a Sonic Cherry Limeade can be fun, but nothing is more satisfying to me than making my own. I love making homemade drinks, and it’s cheaper! 

No copycat Sonic drink would be complete without crushed ice. Did you know that you can purchase crushed ice directly from Sonic? Check your local Sonic to see if they offer this delicacy. But you can make your own for this Copycat Sonic Cherry Limeade drink recipe. Just take normal ice cubes and put them in a plastic baggie. Using a meat tenderizer or a metal ladle, smash that bag until the ice is the size you want it.

This Copycat Cherry Limeade is the perfect summer drink. It is fruity and refreshing. You can even make a whole pitcher of it for a backyard barbecue. This recipe makes one drink, so be sure to multiply the recipe if you want to make more.
