Cherry Limeade Syrup for Drive-In Cherry Limeade
Cherries are in season right now, and I just got a nugget ice maker. That means it was time for me to create a paleo Cherry Limeade Syrup to make my own Sonic-inspired Cherry Limeade at home. This syrup makes an even tastier version than the fast-food favorite.
