Cherry Coke
Submitted by one of our readers.
It's really not coke, but its cherry mushed up or "cherry
juice."
Just
smash up or squeeze out cherry juice from cherries! Yum, they taste
delicious and drink. Some people don't like MUNCHING on them, so they
can drink them. That's what I do.
So instead of calling it
Cherry Juice, I add the "coke" in it just to liven things up and trick
people when they ask for a drink.
They ask for a drink and i
say, "How about some cherry coke?" I come back with cherry juice and
they look at me as if I'm weird because that's not what they intended!
