One of my favorite drive-in spots is Sonic. They have a menu of specialty drinks that I truly love. They have lemonades, limeade’s, floats…you name it. When we were dating, my husband used to bring me treats from Sonic after work…Oh to be young again! The recipe I’m sharing today is reminiscent of that time. I’m sharing two spiked versions of the classic Strawberry Limeade. Enjoy!!

4. Turbinado/raw sugar for rimming glasses
5. 1 sliced lemon (chilled)
6. 2 sliced limes (chilled)
7. A handful on whole strawberries for garnish
