A trip to Sonic is always like taking a trip back in time.  I especially love it when the “car hops” have roller skates on.  Not that I am dating myself THAT much.  More like my experience with car hops is from many years of faithfully watching Happy Days.  Every Tuesday night, like clockwork the Cunninghams and the Fonz came into our living room. Tuesday night was always the best night for TV growing up.  It’s hard not to miss those days sometimes.

Now we have a thousand channels and most of it’s crap.

 

{Copy Cat} Sonic Cherry Limeade - An Affair from the Heart - Skip the drive up and make these famous drinks right at home. In a matter of minutes you'll be sipping on summertime perfection, anytime!

A couple of summers ago, my youngest daughter and I were out running errands on a Saturday afternoon. She asked if we could stop at Sonic, up until that point I had always ordered an orange cream slush.  That day I decided to try something different and I ordered a Cherry Limeade.  I got toward the bottom and I shook it.  I asked her, “What’s in the bottom?” My daughter laughed and said “a lime” — my response made her laugh, “Wait .. there’s a real lime in there?”  “yes, mom .. a real lime …” mind blowing.  HA! We still laugh about that.

  1. I love it and I love your story! How fun and what a great outing for you two gals! Cheers to Happy Days and I’m so glad I can now make this delicious sip at home!

  2. Refreshing and so pretty too! I love the memories that this drink brings with it and I’m thinking even delicious as is, a little gin would be yummy too!

  3. We’re hanging by the pool today as a matter of fact! Thinking along your lines that they will be perfect…. (also thinking a little Vodka may fall into the adults versions! ).

  4. Girl,
    I got hooked on these a long time ago but prefer to make my own as I don’t like bubbles in mine. Thankfully I can switch it up now! And I’m going to add tequila to mine too!
