Scale
Drink Ingredients
- 4 oz Whiskey (Bourbon recommended)
- 1 ¼ cups fresh cherries, pitted and diced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 12 oz cold Coca-Cola
Instructions
- Prepare Cherries: Remove the seeds from the fresh cherries and dice them into small pieces to release their juices.
- Muddle Ingredients: Place the bourbon, diced cherries, and sugar into a large glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush everything together until a pulp forms, combining the flavors.
- Shake Mixture: Transfer the muddled mixture into a bar shaker. Shake well to thoroughly mix the bourbon and cherry pulp.
- Strain Liquor Mix: Strain the shaken bourbon and cherry mixture evenly into two glasses to separate out any solid pieces, ensuring a smooth pour.
- Add Cola: Top each glass off with the cold Coca-Cola, filling them to the desired level and adding a fizzy finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the glasses as desired with a cherry or a slice of lime, and serve immediately to enjoy the cocktail at its freshest.
Notes
- Use fresh ripe cherries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your cherries or personal taste.
- For a stronger cherry flavor, muddle the cherries a bit longer.
- Serve over ice if you prefer your drink chilled and slightly diluted.
- Substitute whiskey with bourbon for a slightly sweeter, smoother taste if preferred.
