Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chilled cola (classic or diet)
  • Ice cubes (as desired for serving)
  • Optional: maraschino cherries for garnish
  • Instructions

  • Combine the cherries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes until cherries release their juice and the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing lightly on solids to extract juice. Discard solids or save for toppings.
  • Stir the pure vanilla extract into the cooled cherry syrup to enhance warm, creamy notes.
  • Fill a glass halfway with ice cubes. Pour in 3-4 tablespoons of cherry-vanilla syrup, adjusting to taste. Slowly add chilled cola, stirring gently to mix.
  • Top with maraschino cherries if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the best fizz and flavor.
