Cherry Lime Mocktail

This easy mocktail recipe tastes similar to beloved Sonic Cherry Limeade, but with far fewer calories! Easy to make, and even easier to sip on.

I love the combination of cherry and lime. It’s fun, it’s tasty, and should be put together more often. This simple drink recipe uses minimal ingredients and can be mixed up quickly.

While some sparkling water mocktails can leave you underwhelmed, this refreshing cherry lime mocktail has a great flavor profile. And you can sip on it happy knowing that this drink doesn’t have the extra calories or sugar from soda!

A cherry lime mocktail is a great option for those looking for mocktails for pregnancy, mocktails for kids, or non alcoholic drinks to serve at a party. Also a great drink option for when you’re just hanging out at home, because it’s always a good time for a fun drink.

WHAT IS A MOCKTAIL?

Mocktails are specialty non-alcoholic drinks. Sometimes they are non-alcoholic versions of cocktails, and sometimes they are fun drink recipes all on their own. Mocktails are great for those wishing to abstain from alcohol, for kids, and for pregnant women.

EXPERT TIPS

What is the best cherry simple syrup to use? You can make your own cherry simple syrup to enjoy in this cocktail, or you can purchase one. If I am buying one, I like to use this cherry syrup from a local small business because it tastes amazing and uses real ingredients for their small batch products.

Want to turn this into a cherry lime cocktail instead? If you’d prefer a cocktail instead of a mocktail, add 1-2oz of vodka to your drink.
