Notes
The cherry flavor gets bolder as this drink sits so if you are making this for a party mix together the cherries, cherry juice, and lime syrup and let it sit overnight. Add the soda when you are ready to serve to keep it bubbly! Although I have mixed everything up the night before and it was still bubbly the next day.
