Easy and Refreshing Cherry Limeade Recipe #cbias #sponsored #PourMoreFun

Spring is here and that means nice weather and lots of time outdoors. And nothing goes better with warmer weather than a nice refreshing drink. We like this easy Cherry Limeade Recipe because it is just that: easy. With this recipe, you can make either a whole pitcher {one Kool-Aid Easy Mix makes 6 quarts or 3 pitchers} for friends and family or just a quick glass for yourself if you like.

Getting ready for the #PourMoreFun Kool-Aid demo at Walmart. You can attend one too at select #Walmart locations. #ad #cbias

Posted by Cheap Is The *New* Classy on Sunday, April 19, 2015

We recently purchased Kool-Aid Easy Mix in Tropical Punch, Grape and Cherry {which we will be using today}. It’s easy to locate in Walmart on the aisle with the drink mixes. It’s really easy to use. There’s no need to add sugar. {In fact, Kool-Aid has 50% less sugar than leading regular sodas}. All you do is add water. The Kool-Aid Easy Mix even comes with a convenient measuring marker on the side of the bottle to help you out. That means less dishes to clean, too!

I am sure you already know that Kool-Aid Easy Mix is also really affordable. That makes this the perfect drink for summer. Save your money on refreshments so that you can spend it on other things, like new sunglasses, pool admissions and flowers for your garden.

Easy Cherry Limeade Recipe

This recipe can be easily prepares in minutes, is very frugal to make, and might even be appropriate for your kids to make {with parental supervision, of course}.

Easy and Refreshing Cherry Limeade Recipe #cbias #sponsored #PourMoreFun

You will need…
Kool-Aid Easy Mix {Cherry Flavor}
Your favorite Lemon-Lime Soda
1 lime
several Maraschino Cherries

To Prepare…
Fill a glass with ice. We like to use a pint mason jar. Next, fill it with your favorite lemon-lime flavored soda. Add Kool-Aid Easy Mix {Cherry Flavor} to taste. We recommend 4 splashes. Finally, add a few wedges or slices of lime and a few Maraschino Cherries to your glass. You may want to chill your Cherry Limeade or you can go ahead and drink it immediately.

    On thing I have always liked about Kool-Aid. I can buy it unsweetened and sweeten it with my sweetner of choice.

  2. Mama to 5 BLessings says

    This looks great! Very refreshing for these hotter months coming up!

    That looks so tasty, and I love that you made it with Kool-Aid. It’s the wine of the south.

      Oh I love that! I had never heard that before, lol.

  4. Rosey says

    April 20, 2015 at 2:01 pm

    That is easy to make. It’s a good excuse to buy cherries too. Since my oldest grew up and moved out, I hardly ever get them (he could eat them right out of the jar!).

  5. Olivia Schwab says

    April 20, 2015 at 2:10 pm

    This looks incredible! It would be great in the summer because it seems very refreshing! I’ve had raspberry limeade before but not cherry! I’m going to have to try this soon!

      April 20, 2015 at 2:54 pm

      I have drank Kool-Aid for over 60 years. We had it when I was a kid. It was much less expensive than buying pop.

    That Kool-Aid man has been around for a long time. I remember him when I was a kid. Glad to see he’s still on their products. My son can’t have artificial flavors and stuff so we can’t have this product but it was nice seeing that happy Kool-Aid man face.

    April 21, 2015 at 11:21 am

    We’ve never had Cherry Limeade, but I know my girls would love the fanciness of a slice of lime and a cherry on top! Plus, they love any reason to sneak Kool Aid into the cart!

  44. AJ @ NutriFitMama says

    April 21, 2015 at 12:33 pm
