How to Make Cherry Cola Float Chuck Hughes
- Pit 2 cups of fresh cherries and cut them into quarters. Reserve a few whole cherries for garnish.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the quartered cherries, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of water.
- Bring the mixture to a medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to stir gently as the liquid simmers and reduces.
- Skim off any foam that rises to the surface of the syrup.
- Continue simmering and stirring until the liquid reaches a thick syrup consistency (about 25 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cherry syrup cool completely for at least 1 hour.
- Transfer the cooled cherry syrup to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
- To make the float, fill a frosted mug with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream.
- Pour 1-2 tablespoons of the chilled cherry syrup over the ice cream.
- Top with chilled Coca-Cola or your preferred cola.
- Garnish with the reserved whole cherries and enjoy!
