Cherry Limeade

Posted on August 6, 2013 by Erica

One of my favorite summer time drinks is cherry limeade from Sonic. I no longer have a Sonic near me so I started making my own and think I just about perfected it. To make all you need is crushed ice, Sprite (I used Sprite Zero), cherry juice and limes. Pour Sprite (I did ½ a 2 liter) over crushed ice, cut one lime into quarters and squeeze onto the Sprite and ice add cherry juice to taste. Let sit for at least an hour to let the flavors merry.

It\’s sweet corn season here in Michigan, and my favorite way to enjoy it is straight from the barbecue.

Step 1: Remove a couple layers of the husk.

Step 2: Soak in cold water for 20 minutes. Flip after 10 minutes.

Step 3: Pull down the husk of the corn down (but do not remove them) remove the silk.

Step 4: Pull the husk back up and place on the barbecue.

Step 5: Grill for at least 25 minutes.

From cabins and lake houses to backyard barbecues and bonfires, my summer has been eventful. I don\’t know about you, but when I get invited somewhere I always bring a hostess gift. While I do buy gifts from time to time I think something homemade is just a little bit sweeter. These simple citronella candles have become my go-to hostess gifts for summer.
