Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, preparing the cherry syrup is the key to all these delicious drinks. Using cola or sprite alone can make the drink excessively sweet, so we’ve included sparkling water to help balance the sweetness and enhance the overall flavor. This ratio ensures all ingredients harmonize beautifully.
Step 2
To best enjoy your refreshing cherry ade and cherry coke, prepare your serving glass by filling it generously with ice. Ice not only keeps your drink wonderfully cold but also helps to dilute the flavors gradually, so don’t be shy with it!
Step 3
Now it’s time to add the prepared cherry syrup to your glass. A good starting point is to use about 1/5 of the total drink volume for the cherry syrup. Feel free to use the golden ratio I’m sharing as a base, but if you love a more intense cherry flavor, you can add a little extra. Conversely, if you prefer a lighter taste, reduce the amount to suit your preference.
Step 4
To create a delightful cherry coke, simply combine the ingredients in the following ratio: 1 part cherry syrup, 3 parts cola, and 2 parts sparkling water. Pour them carefully into your glass. The sweetness of the cherries, the fizziness of the cola, and the coolness of the sparkling water will come together to create a fantastic taste. Stir gently and enjoy your creation!
Step 5
Making the cherry ade is just as simple as the cherry coke. Mix the ingredients with the ratio of 1 part cherry syrup, 3 parts sprite (or lemon-lime soda), and 2 parts sparkling water. The vibrant cherry aroma and the refreshing fizziness of the soda will fill your mouth, making it the perfect thirst quencher on a hot day. Enjoy your delicious beverage!
