Other than it being a car-hop/drive in, Sonic is also well known for their Cherry Limeade drink. Unfortunately because there is not a sonic within at least 100 miles of the Hamptons, today's recipe is for a pitcher of Homemade Cherry Limeade's. This is a three-ingredient recipe and the directions are extremely easy to follow. Additionally, if you feel the need to spice up the drink a little, you can add your favorite spirit to this drink but at your own discretion. Ingredients and directions below:

    INGREDIENTS:

    1 1/2 pounds fresh cherries, rinsed and pitted

    1 cup lime juice

    1/2 cup sugar

    2 limes

    DIRECTIONS:

    In a blender, add the cherries, lime juice, and sugar

    Blend until smooth.

    Pour the blender concoction through a fine strainer into a pitcher (at least 2 qt.), extracting as much liquid as possible; 

    Discard residue. 

    Stir in 3 cups ice cold water and serve over ice.

    Garnish with a slice of lime
