I love cherry coke. In college, there was a pop machine in the basement and I used to drink diet cherry coke like it was water. Isn’t that so gross!? But still, I have a long lasting love for it, and funny enough, it pairs beautifully with bourbon. Like really, really well.
So for this weeks Thirsty Thursday, I present Bourbon Cherry Cokes!! Perfect for evening sipping and personally, we have been enjoying them while we play cards or do a puzzle in the evenings, and I am loving it!
See what you think of these gorgeous little drinks…
In a large glass or bowl muddle together the bourbon, cherries and sugar until you have a pulp.
(You can even leave this concoction in the fridge over night in a mason jar to let the cherries and bourbon reeeally meld.)
Split them between two ice filled highball glasses and fill the glasses with cold coca cola. Serve with a straw.

If I drank I honestly think this would be a favorite of mine! The flavor combos sound perfect! Might have to try baking up something with some bourbon and cherries!
When I first read this I thought I saw Bourbon Cherry Cake and I thought…I’ve done that; I call it a Manhattan cake! But I’ve done this too but no where near as splendidly. I’m thinking I added some bourbon to cherry coke; it’s time for me to up my game and make this cocktail stat!
Oh my god. My husband will LOVE this. He loves cherry cokes and he loves him some bourbon. I’m thinking I need to surprise him with these this weekend.
Okay, so I’m not huge on pop *or* bourbon usually, but these are making my mouth water. They look phenomenal and I must try them immediately.
