We love lemonade and maraschino cherries so this was a winner for us. I did use bottled lemon juice and a 10 ounce jar of maraschino cherries like Marg suggested. Pretty and great tasting drink for the summer! Thank you so much hon for posting this recipe. Made and reviewed for Comfort Cafe - Summer 2009.

Hey Marg, this was very good! I used a bottled lemon juice to make this lemonade, which I purchased from Aldi's. I did add 3/4 cup of sugar, and I added 1/2 cup of the cherry juice, but I only used 4 cups of water. This was very rereshing, and very good! Thanx for the recipe!
