cocktail recipe : cash’s cherry coke

Just in time for the weekend, a super simple cocktail recipe that’s as refreshing as it is surprisingly strong.

I must give mad props to my good friend and fellow UM contributor Glenn for introducing me to Coke zero, the primary ingredient. Calorie AND high fructose corn syrup free, it’s about as ‘healthy’ as a soda can be.

The main reason why it’s used in this recipe is that it’s not quite as sweet as ‘regular’ Coca Cola classic (the liquor in this drink is plenty sweet enough and provides the perfect balance to the cola). PS: It’s infinitely tastier than “Diet Coke” which gets Glenn gagging and is none too pleasing to me either.

Now, onto the recipe.

Cash’s Cherry Coke

1 1/2 oz Stoli Vanil

1 oz Cherry Brandy

Coke Zero

Combine ingredients over ice. Mix. Garnish with Marischino cherry if you’re a fruit.

Kidding. If you’re gay.
