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.

Ingredients

  • 1 pint cherries, pitted
  • 2 oz. rye whiskey
  • 3 cups cola
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1

Combine cherries, 1 oz. rye, and 1 cup cola in a bowl; cover and chill. Let remaining cola flatten, then freeze in ice cube trays.
