# How to Make It:

Pour 360 ml (1 1/2 cups) Coca-Cola into ice cube trays and freeze until solid, about 3 to 4 hours.
02 -
In a blender, combine lime juice, bourbon (if using), and remaining Coca-Cola (use 480 ml if no bourbon, or 360 ml if bourbon is added). Add the Coca-Cola ice cubes and frozen cherries. Blend until smooth and icy, about 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides if needed.

Layering ingredients in the blender starting with liquids, then ice cubes, then cherries ensures optimal blending and frostiness.
02 -
Make ahead by freezing Coca-Cola cubes and cherries in advance; thaw slightly before blending.
03 -
Optional addition of bourbon or rum complements the flavor without overwhelming the drink.
