    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.
