Cherry Limeade Mocktail

The combination of tart and sweet makes for the most refreshing summer treat! This Cherry Limeade Mocktail is the perfect crowd pleasing drink plus it is beyond easy to make. You can make this drink in advance so you can drink it all week long, plus kids love it too!

This past weekend we went cherry picking and I ended up with an excess of beautiful delicious cherries. I decided to make this drink and my favorite No bake gluten free and vegan Cherry Lime Cheesecake. The number one thing I love about combining cherries with limes is the combination of sweet and tart!

If you have been following along for awhile you probably saw that I gave up alcohol back in September 2019 and that is what inspired me to start making my own drinks! While there are a lot of mocktail recipes out there, most of them are loaded with refined sugar and if you are like me you get a hangover from sugar itself. What I love about my drink recipes is that they are all refined sugar free! I used honey instead of sugar and it makes for the most perfect simple syrup, without the sugar hangover and all 🙂
