My husband Brian loves cherry limeade. Since we had a ton of leftover limes from our lime tree we went ahead and made it. The vodka added a nice contrast to the sweetness of the limeade. If this is a drink for kids you could add a little more lime juice or sugar as needed to get the right tang.
Ingredients:
2-Liter bottle of lemon-lime soda
1 cup sugar
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 10 oz jar maraschino cherries, with juice/syrup
Thin lime slices for garnish
Vodka - if using

Directions:
1. Chill all ingredients before mixing.
2. Combine the lemon-lime soda, lime juice, sugar, and cherries in a large pitcher. Mix until combined. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (do not make too far in advance or bubbles in soda will go flat).
3. Fill a glass with ice. Add in vodka if using. Top with cherry limeade mix and garnish with lime slices and cherries.
