The taste is great. But for us it was too sweet. So next time I'd add more club soda. Thanks Baby Kato :) Made for holiday tag game

Wonderful! I made this as a fancy drink for my daughter's 9th birthday party, and the girls appreciated getting a 'grown up drink' with umbrellas :)

Beautiful to look at, and delicious! Both tart and slightly sweet -- because of the sugared rim -- to the taste. Made for Beverage Tag, Sept 2008.

I love cherry limeade and I really loved this drink! So refreshing and not too sweet. I made just as specified and loved the extra touch of the sugar-rimmed glass. Will be making this often - thanks for sharing!

This is so refreshing! Makes you wonder why anyone would ever add simply water to concentrated limeade! I used Club Soda and it is so good! I am going to remember this recipe and use it often! Thank you so much, Baby Kato!
