  • Equipment Needed: Highball glass, bar spoon, jigger, ice bucket (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1.5 oz 45 ml vodka (or rum for a twist)
  • 3 oz 90 ml cherry cola
  • 0.5 oz 15 ml grenadine syrup (for extra sweetness)
  • Fresh cherries for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Prepare Your Glass: Take a highball glass and fill it with ice cubes. This will chill your drink and keep it refreshing.
  • Measure and Mix: Using a jigger, pour 1.5 oz of vodka (or rum if you prefer) over the ice. Add 0.5 oz of grenadine syrup for that beautiful cherry sweetness.
  • Add Cherry Cola: Pour 3 oz of cherry cola into the glass, allowing it to mix gently with the vodka and grenadine.
  • Stir It Up: Use a bar spoon to give your cocktail a gentle stir. This ensures all the flavors meld together nicely without losing the fizz of the cola.
  • Garnish: Drop in a fresh cherry or two for garnish. This adds a lovely touch and enhances the cocktail's visual appeal.
  • Enjoy: Sip and savor the bubbly goodness of your Cherry Cola Cocktail!
  • Variations
  • Mocktail Version: For a non-alcoholic version, simply replace vodka with extra cherry cola and add a splash of soda water for fizz.
  • Fruit Variants: Add other fruits like orange slices or lime wedges for a citrus twist.
  • Diet-Friendly: Use diet cherry cola to cut down on calories and sugar.
