Ingredients For Vampire Cherry Limeade
Lemon Lime Soda – You can use any brand of lemon lime soda. 7Up or Sprite work great for this drink recipe. Or if you want to make it without pop use a Bubbly water or sparkling water of choice.
Lime – Fresh lime is best!
Maraschino Cherries and Syrup – Buy a jar for this recipe. You will want to use the cherries and the juice that comes in the jar.
Ice – Using ice gives your drink that ice cold flavor and of course is delicious to have a super cold limeade.
Decorating Ideas For Glass
- Vampire Teeth – Stick this on the straw or rim of the glass. You can buy all different colors or styles!
- Straws – I love using paper straws that are designed. You can find these at your Dollar Tree or shop online and ship to your home.
- Lime Wedge – Slice up some extra lime and place on the wedge of your glass.

How to Make Vampire Cherry LimeadeFull directions are in the recipe card featured below. This is a quick walk through on how to make.
- Add cherries into the glass. With some of the lime juice.
- Top with ice, and pour over the lemon lime soda.
- Pour the rest of the lime juice, and maraschino cherry juice.
- Garnish with cherries, limes, and vampire teeth!
Tips and Variations
- Use any style of glass you would like. I find that clear glasses look really pretty so you can see all the color and cherries in the glass.
- Add more or less lime and cherry juice to fit your flavor preference.
- Garnish with any style of items. I loved the vampire teeth, but you could swap with like a Halloween gummy candy that you sit on top of ice in the glass as well.
- Cherry limeades are best when made in a single serve glass, instead of making a large batch. I find you get the best flavor this way.
