Ingredients:
- several limes

Instructions:
Step 1:
Slice the limes in half and juice them. You need about 1 and 1/4 cups of lime juice. Make sure to remove any seeds. Thinly slice some and set aside for garnish later.
Step 2:
Add all the lime juice and 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar to a small pot. Mix until well combined. Place it overheat and continuously mix until the sugar is melted and it becomes like syrup.
Step 3:
Pour the lime-sugar mixture into your pitcher and add the maraschino cherries including the juice. Make sure to set aside a few pieces of cherries for garnish.
Step 4:
Add two liters of lemon-lime soda into your large pitcher. Let it settle down for a little bit as it may overflow if you stir it immediately. Be careful when stirring.
Step 5:
Add 1/2 cup of cherry juice to the mixture. This is optional, but this will make the cherry flavor stand out. Stir until well combined.
Step 6:
Pour into glasses with ice cubes. Garnish with peppermint, lime slices, and a piece of cherry. Enjoy!
