Here’s how you make the syrup: Warm the water and sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Add the halved cherries, and steep for an hour at room temperature. Transfer to a mason jar and store in the fridge. Keep the cherries in the syrup—they make a great garnish! Once you’ve made and chilled the syrup, make HOMEMADE CHERRY LIMEADE: Pour the lemon-lime soda, lime juice, and cherry syrup over crushed ice, and stir. Top with one of the cherries and a lime wedge.View original recipe
