Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 dark cherries (fresh or frozen and thawed)
  • 1/2 oz lime juice
  • 1/2 oz amaretto
  • 1 1/2 oz blanco tequila
  • Chilled cola of choice (preferably Coke Zero)

Instructions

  1. Muddle Cherries and Lime Juice: Add the dark cherries and lime juice to a cocktail shaker and muddle thoroughly until the cherries are pulped and combined with the lime juice to release their flavors.
  2. Add Spirits and Ice: Pour in the amaretto and blanco tequila, then add ice to fill the shaker. Secure the lid to prepare for shaking.
  3. Shake Well: Shake vigorously for 30 seconds to chill the mixture and blend all the flavors together.
  4. Strain and Pour: Strain the cocktail mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice, ensuring no large cherry pieces remain in the drink.
  5. Top with Cola: Gently top off the drink with your favorite chilled cola to add a fizzy finish.
  6. Stir and Serve: Give the drink a gentle stir to combine the flavors, then serve immediately and enjoy your Cherry Coke Margarita!

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh dark cherries; if using frozen, ensure they are completely thawed before muddling.
  • Adjust the amount of cola to taste depending on your preferred level of sweetness and fizz.
  • To make this drink calorie-conscious, using Coke Zero or another zero-calorie soda is recommended.
  • Consider rimming the glass with salt or sugar to add an extra dimension of flavor.
  • Use good quality blanco tequila for a cleaner, brighter margarita taste.
