Chocolate Cherry Cha-Cha {MixThatDrink Original}

There were already several drinks called “Chocolate Covered cherries” when we created this recipe, which surprised us by tasting uncannily like a chocolate covered cherry. So we named it the Chocolate Cherry Cha-Cha.

This drink makes a fabulous dessert, with the Malibu coconut rum adding sweetness and bringing out the cherry and chocolate notes from the Ripe Rouge soda. It’s also beautiful for any holiday featuring the color red – a lovely Christmas or New Years holiday drink, or a perfect date drink for Valentine’s Day.
