While most cherry limeade recipes call for preserved, syrupy-sweet maraschino cherries and frozen limeade concentrate, this pretty thirst-quencher is made with real, sweet cherries and fresh limes. I suggest using either Bing, Ranier, or sweet Black cherries here. If you opt for a more tart variety like Montmorency or Morello, you may want to up the sugar content a bit to compensate.
