La La Lola

Jill Schulster of Manhattan's Joe-Doe restaurant created this riff on a cherry cola, which uses cola ice cubes to keep the flavor robust. This recipe first appeared in our October 2011 issue, along with Rebecca Barry's article Whiskey Rebellion.

Please retread and edit this recipe. It is unclear if you reserve 10 cherries from the pint, if you need more than a pint of cherries, etc. Also, what happens to the remaining cola after making the ice cubes & using 1 teaspoon (?) of what rye-cola mixture? 2 oz of rye seems like a scant amount of Whisky for 2 drinks, since you use 1 oz in the ice cubes.

Thank you!
