Steps:
- Pit all cherries, leaving a few whole for garnish.
- In a saucepan, mix the cherries, sugar, and water. Bring heat to medium high and stir, slowly reducing the liquid. Skim the surface of the syrup once in a while.
- Once the liquid has reached a syrup-like consistency, about 25 minutes, remove from heat. Set aside to cool for 1 hour. Put in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator.
- For serving: In a frosted mug, add a scoop of ice cream, pour 1 tablespoon of the cherry mixture and top with coke. Garnish with fresh whole cherries.
- Cook's Note: For a drink, remove the vanilla ice cream and add a splash of spiced rum.
Tips:
- Use high-quality cherry cola for the best flavor.
- Let the cherry cola float for at least 5 minutes before serving, so the ice cream has time to melt and soften.
- For a more decadent float, use a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
- If you don't have a cherry, you can use a maraschino cherry or a piece of candied ginger.
- For a fun twist, add a scoop of your favorite ice cream to the cherry cola.
