🍒 Cherry Coke for Adults
It’s the grown-up twist on a classic soda favorite. Rich, sweet, and fizzy with a smooth whiskey kick—this one’s perfect for laid-back evenings or BBQs with a touch of flair.
🥃 Ingredients:
2 oz whiskey (bourbon or rye works great)
½ oz cherry syrup (like grenadine, maraschino syrup, or homemade)
4–6 oz Coca-Cola (or to taste)
Ice cubes
Maraschino cherry (optional, for garnish)
🍹 Instructions:
Fill a tall glass with ice
Use a highball or Collins glass and fill it to the top with ice cubes.
Add whiskey
Pour in 2 oz of your favorite whiskey. Bourbon adds a sweeter touch; rye gives it a bit more spice.
Add cherry syrup
Pour in ½ oz of cherry syrup. You can use the syrup from maraschino cherries or make your own with cherries and sugar.
Top with Coca-Cola
Slowly pour in 4 to 6 oz of Coca-Cola, depending on your sweetness and strength preference.
Stir gently
Mix gently to combine all the flavors without losing too much fizz.
Garnish and enjoy
Add a maraschino cherry on top (optional) and serve with a straw or stirrer.
✨ Tips:
Want a richer flavor? Add a dash of vanilla extract or use vanilla Coke.
Use cherry-flavored whiskey for an extra cherry kick.
For a party version, batch it in a pitcher and serve over ice as guests arrive.
