Sonic Drive-In Strawberry Limeade

Reviews: 1

Troy Smith isn't the one who came up with the idea to use an intercom system in the parking lot so that customers could pull up to order, and then eat while still in their cars. He was inspired by another hamburger stand he saw while driving through Louisiana, and had the same system designed for his place. Today Sonic is the only major fast food chain still incorporating the nearly 50-year old service concept. And just as in the '50s, roller-skating carhops still bring the food right to the car window so diners can stay comfortably seated behind the wheel.

This is a flavor variation of Sonic's signature Cherry Limeade.

Now, I combined this with the cherry one, but it wasn’t sour enough (I’m a Brit so I don’t know what the real deal tastes like.) but I would recommend using one full lime instead.
