How To Make Strawberry Limeade From Sonic

Hey everyone! Today, I want to show you how to make strawberry limeade from Sonic. I order this drink all the time. It’s absolutely amazing and they now sell it year round! Yay!

I LOVE STRAWBERRY LIMEADE! In the warm summer months, I always order a strawberry limeade from Sonic for a refreshing treat. But the other day I was trying to figure out how to make it at home (because I don’t want to spend $2 on one). Plus, I’d like to save up my quarters before they disappear.

Sonic Strawberry Limeade

The Sonic Strawberry Limeade is a delicious drink that you can enjoy all year round. The hardest part of this drink is the strawberry syrup, but I will show you how to make your own strawberry syrup.

Do you love copycat Sonic recipes? I have a lot of copycat Sonic Menu Items on the blog.

Sonic’s Vast Drink Menu

Sonic is America’s Drive Inn, and they have over 100,000 drink combinations. I am going to show you how you can take care of drinks that need strawberry syrup. I think one of the best things about recreating recipes at home is you can stay away from many preservatives and dyes.

Homemade Strawberry Syrup

Homemade Strawberry syrup has a beautiful color, and there is no dye in this recipe. My recipe is made with sugar, if you want to try making your version with a sugar-free substitute, please let me know how it goes. This recipe is tested only for sugar.

Ingredients

This is what you need for the strawberry syrup and strawberry limeade drink:

• Strawberries
• Water
• Sugar
• Sprite
• Lime

How to Make Strawberry Syrup

1. You will begin with 1 pound of fresh strawberries. You will wash them, hull them, and cut those strawberries into small pieces.
2. You will then cook the strawberries for about 20 minutes. What results is a beautiful colored juice, but it isn’t sweet yet.
3. You will strain and remove the strawberries. YOu can compost them if you desire.
4. Then add the sugar and heat just a bit more.

You can then store the syrup in a clean container. I recommend storing the syrup in the refrigerator. It is ok for a couple of weeks.

How to Make Strawberry Limeade

Next, we will make the Sonic Strawberry Limeade.

1. You will grab a glass and fill it with ice, and then make your drink.
2. Add about 1 part of strawberry syrup
3. Add 4 parts of Sprite.
4. Top with some lime slices or quarters, and there you go.

You can make strawberry lemonade, or even strawberry soda if you desire. I hope you enjoy this Sonic Strawberry Limeade.

READER’S FAVORITE RECIPES

That goes double during their happy hour when all their drinks are half priced.

My boys and I love their strawberry limeade.

It’s tangy, sweet and so refreshing. The perfect thing for a summer pick me up.

My version of the classic drink hits all the same notes.

And I can make it anytime without having to haul myself to a Sonic.

The results are just as good if not better than the original!

Ingredients

You’ll need two very easy sets of ingredients for this recipe.

For the strawberry syrup you’ll need:

• Strawberries– Wash them and hull them. This tool helps with that.
• Water
• Sugar– Granulated sugar works best.

For the strawberry limeade itself, you’ll need:

• Strawberry syrup– A portion of the homemade syrup.
• Lemon Lime soda– I like Sprite in this, but you could use another lemon lime soda if you prefer.
• Lime– Both to squeeze into the drink and to garnish the drink with if desired.
• Strawberries– For garnish.

How to Make

Making this is pretty easy. To start, let’s talk about making the strawberry simple syrup.

To make it, start by cutting the prepared berries into quarters.

Then, add the strawberries to a medium sized pot along with the four cups of water.

Bring the water to a boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

Using a strainer spoon, remove the boiled berries and discard.

Stir in the sugar and then continue simmering the mixture until the sugar’s completely dissolved.

Remove the pot from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely before using or storing.

Once you have made syrup and it’s cooled completely, you can put together your strawberry limeade.

To do it, fill a glass 1/2 full with ice, add 1/4 cup strawberry syrup and 1 cup of Sprite to the glass.

Squeeze in 4 slices of lime and stir the mixture together to evenly combine.

Garnish with lime and strawberries, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

• Frozen strawberries make great ice cubes, and won’t dilute the drink as they warm up. Plus the look extra fancy.
• To store the simple syrup; transfer it to a jar once completely cooled, seal, and refrigerate for up to a month.
• You won’t use all the syrup making one limeade. There will be plenty left to make more drinks!

This Sonic strawberry limeade copycat recipe will knock your strawberry socks off! It’s quick to come together and the syrup stores for weeks. Let’s get started making this drool-worthy, thirst-quenching strawberry limeade.

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and quartered
• 4 cups water
• Juice of 1 lime (large) or 2 limes (small), plus more for garnish
• 1 – 1.5 cups granulated sugar (depends on the sweetness of your berries)
• Optional, crushed ice, mint garnish

Instructions

1. Place the washed, hulled, and sliced strawberries into a saucepan with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15-18 minutes, uncovered.
2. Remove the strawberries (it’s okay that they’ll look kind of gross) and discard. Skim anything from the red water. This is the base of our syrup, so make sure it’s free from leaves or strawberry pieces and skim off the bubbles and foam at the top.
3. Add the sugar to the strawberry juice and stir until dissolved (about 5-8 minutes).
