Title: Sonic Cherry Limeade
Categories: Beverages, Copycat
Yield: 1 Drink
12 oz Can Sprite
3 Lime wedges;
- ea 1/8 of a lime
1/4 c Cherry juice;
- Libby's is best
Here's the signature drink from the chain that's reviving the drive-up
burger joint, just like a scene out of American Graffiti or Happy
Days. It was in 1953 that Troy Smith obtained the parcel of land in
Shawnee, Oklahoma that was big enough to fit the new steakhouse and
root beer stand that was his dream. Troy thought he'd make he
steakhouse his primary operation, but as it turned out folks
preferred the hot dogs and cold drinks over at the root beer stand.
So Troy did the smart thing and ditched the steakhouse to focus all
his efforts on the other joint. At first he called the root beer
stand "Top Hat," but when Troy found out later that name was already
being used, he came up "Sonic" to signify "service at the speed of
sound." Today the chain is the sixth largest hamburger outlet in the
country. This recipe makes a simple, old-fashioned drink by combining
Sprite with cherry juice and some lime wedges. Use cherry juice made
by Libby under the brand-name Juicy Juice for the best home clone.
Fill a 16 oz glass 2/3rds full with ice.
Pour Sprite over the ice.
Add the juice of 3 lime wedges and drop them into the drink.
Add the cherry juice and serve with a straw.
