The addition of cherry brandy gives the drink a deeper, more complex flavor profile, while the cream adds a luxurious, velvety texture. And of course, the ever-present cola ties it all together, creating a truly decadent and indulgent beverage.

Because this is one of those cocktail recipes that’s been around long enough to have variations, you should feel free to tweak it yourself. Play with different ratios, try different flavors of vodka, try different flavors of cola, try different fruit juices in place of the grenadine. There’s no end to what you can do with this recipe.

The taste is delicious, but a little hard to describe. It really does taste kind of like a cherry coke, but with cream and delicious notes from the brandy.

If you enjoy this drink, try the Strawberry Fields Forever, which features strawberry schnapps, brandy and soda water for a bubbly strawberry treat.
