Adapted from the famous Reata restaurant in Fort Worth, TX. Living with a Sonic Drive-In within spitting distance makes our string of 100ยบ summer days a little more bearable. There really is nothing quite like an ice-cold Route 44 cherry limeade to wipe the sweat off your brow and quench your thirst. As our most popular signature drink, the CF Cherry Limeade is always garnished with a maraschino cherry. Ingredients:
2 ounces cherry vodka |
1/4 ounce grenadine |
1/4 ounce rose's lime juice |
2 ounces prepared sweet-and-sour mix (see recipe below) |
2 ounces sprite |
ice cube |
lime wedge (to garnish) |
maraschino cherry (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Add all ingredients to a glass filled with ice, and stir gently. Garnish with lime and cherry.
2. Reata Sweet and Sour Mix.
3. Makes 4 cups.
4. Every bartender's staple, this mix is super easy to make and so much better than the store-bought brands.
5. The secret to ours is using a cinnamon stick to layer flavors of sweet with depths of spice.
6. 3 cups sugar.
7. 4 cups water.
8. 1 cinnamon stick.
9. 1 1/2 cups lime juice, preferably fresh squeezed.
10. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water and cinnamon, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to.
11. a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat, add the lime juice and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from.
