How to Make Cherry Limeade Party Punch
This is an easy recipe to turn into a party punch.
Just skip serving it in a pitcher and instead serve it as is in a punch bowl, garnished with lime slices and cherries.
Have your guests ladle it into their own cups.
For a creamy version, you can add a tub of frozen party punch.
Can I make this ahead of time?
No. This is a drink that it is best made fresh.
The soda will get flat as it sits.
Tips and Tricks
- This can be made with regular lemon lime soda or the ‘zero sugar’ option, to make it fit your individual preferences.
- Due to the concentrate, the finished limeade may contain pulp. If that’s an issue, pour it through a mesh strainer when adding it to your pitcher.
- Don’t want to dilute your drink with ice? Chill the soda before adding it to the mix, and serve the cherry limeade immediately after mixing.
