Cherry Coke

Red-tinted soda

Cherry Coke is a cherry-flavored variant of Coca-Cola, introduced in 1985.

The name applies both to the commercial product and to the classic soda-fountain combination of Coca-Cola with cherry syrup: I'll have a Cherry Coke.

The DIY version predates the bottled product by decades.
