• Maraschino cherries for garnish

Cherry syrup deepens the fruity flavor and enhances the bright red color.

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Making a Cherry Dole Whip Coke Float takes only a few minutes.

Pre-Cooking Prep

1. Chill your serving glass in the freezer for 5 minutes if possible.

2. Scoop the cherry Dole Whip so it’s ready to add quickly.

Cooking Method

1. Fill the glass about two-thirds full with cola.
