Cherry Limeade Popsicles
These two belong together. Any cherry limeade fans? I know you’re out there! Well I will admit that I’m a fan. It seems to be a complete waste if I go to Sonic and don’t end up ordering one. I would happily pass up ice cream for a cherry limeade.
As I bought the ingredients to make it at home it hit me that this is the perfect summer popsicle flavor! I wouldn’t even call this a recipe as much as a technique. You obviously know how to dump liquids into a container and put them in your freezer.
I grabbed some maraschino cherries, limes, limeade, and, gummy fruits. The gummies are completely optional but made for a fun little addition for the kiddos.
You plop a cherry into your popsicle mold first then give it a little squeeze of lime and a teaspoon of the cherry juice from the jar. You could do without the lime juice since you’ll be adding limeade but I wanted to be sure there was some pulp running throughout – we are making this up as we go. Do whatever you want; I am not the popsicle police. In goes the gummy lime then fill to the top with limeade. Freeze.
We had friends over and it was a big hit with all! The kids waited as patiently as 4-year-olds (and a 1 year-old) could while I snapped a few more pictures then it was finally time to dig in.
All that was left was crumbs…er, uh…drips
of cherry limeade-deliciousness.

LOL! I didn't think the kiddos would like a "real" lime slice so it just hit me to go with the gummies. They are so good I made a lemonade batch with gummies too! 🙂

Thanks! The lighting was very shady that day but the kiddos were too darn cute not to include!
I just put another batch of 6 in the freezer. So easy and no mystery ingerdients. 🙂 (well, the gummies aren't exactly health food but it is just one little candy.) lol
Thanks! I thought they were summery. Oh you must try this – so easy and tasty!

Thanks! I just put 6 more in the freezer!! 🙂 So easy and good!
Oh you will love this combo! Sweet with a little kicj of sour! It's delicious!!
I feel the same way about the popsicle molds! But I have become so overtaken by these that I actually went out and bought another set so we could have a bunch of homemade popsicles lined up in the freezer!
You and all of your yummy flavor mac combinations! Okay it's on- I challenge you to a cherry limeade mac!! 😀
Oh my kids are going to LOVE these. I can't wait to make them with them!!! It's my first time here…thanks so much for the inspiration! I'll be back soon for sure.
