Let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of cola, such Coke or Pepsi
- 2 tablespoons of cherry syrup (Torani or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons of half-and-half
- ½ cup of crushed ice
- 1 maraschino cherry (to decorate)
Long glass
Spoons for measuring
Stir with a spoon or straw
Optional ice crusher
Preparation Steps
- Put crushed ice in a large glass until it is halfway full. This keeps the drink super cold and blends the flavors.
- Slowly pour 1 cup of cola over the crushed ice. It will make a wonderful fizz!
- Add 2 teaspoons of cherry syrup to the soda. It will sink a little before mixing in, making a beautiful red swirl.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of half-and-half over the top. Watch as it gently mixes into the soda, making it thick and creamy.
- Use a straw or spoon to swirl the cocktail gently, then add a maraschino cherry on top. Enjoy your drink!
Tips & Variations
- Ice that has been crushed is very important! It keeps the drink extremely cold and helps the flavors combine just right.
- Slowly drizzle the half-and-half over the top to obtain that nice swirling look before you stir.
- Want it to taste better? A little extra cherry syrup or a drop of vanilla syrup will do.
- Make it safe for kids! Drink root beer or cream soda instead of soda with caffeine.
- Is there a dairy-free choice? Use coconut cream or almond milk instead of half-and-half.
- A different soda? For a change, try root beer, Dr. Pepper, or Sprite.
- More cherry flavor? You can add more cherry syrup or muddle fresh cherries.
- Not as creamy? Use only 1 tbsp of half-and-half or skip it.
- More bubbly? Put some sparkling water on top.
Serving Tips
Drink this straight away for the greatest taste! Mix the cola and cherry syrup together ahead of time and keep them in the fridge if you need to get ready. Right before serving, add ice and half-and-half.
