And he best way possible to pre-maturely kick things off for the weekend on a Tuesday is with a  Cherry Rum and Coke, don’t you think? Sometimes I just LOVE a really cold Coke (it’s the best hangover cure ever by the way). And this is packed with ripe juicy cherries and a healthy splash of rum- which makes it all the more festive! Enjoy the weekend!!!
