I found out that mixing sour cherry syrup with extra spicy ginger ale is delicious.
No bourbon or anything, just spicy ginger ale and sour cherry.
Brands blacked out so as to not be promoting products.
I dislike orange soda despite liking lots of other orange flavored things (there's some background flavor that gets more apparent as i go through a can, making me sick to my stomach) and the other day we got some by accident so I tried it to see if i still disliked it (yep).
To not waste the can, I added some grenadine and whiskey, and the combo overpowered what i disliked about the soda. Good times.
Whiskey with grenadine (cherry) and orange? That’s a varient on the classic Old Fashioned.
Yeah I figured it would taste close enough to the classics that I'd like it
Grenadine is pomegranate flavor, not cherry. Though if you get Rose's it's citric acid flavor.
Ooh, I have blenheim's - gotta figure out where to get the sour cherry from to try this!
Brands I know included to promote products because blenheim hot is delicious
I got my sour cherry at a middle eastern grocery. They had a cool selection.
Not sure what to do with all of these and where they might fit into drink recipes, but it seems like a great opportunity to try something novel.
Have you tried beer and Tang? (Not an April Fool's Day bit, it's actually pretty good).
Was a joke on Married...with Children where they called it a Bundy Mimosa. I had to try it, and it was surprisingly good.
So a tang shandy?
I call that a class monkey
