2 Liter bottle of Cherry Coke, bottle of Crown Royal whisky, jar of maraschino cherries, ice cube tray, and paper straws

Cherry Coke – Wouldn’t be a cherry coke cocktail without it!
Whiskey – While you technically can use any whiskey or bourbon for this cocktail recipe, you will find that the better the liquor, the better the cocktail. You can never go wrong with Crown Royal, Makers Mark, or Dewars.
Grenadine – While grenadine is preferreed, I have used the juice from a jar of marshino cherries in a pinch.
Cherries – We used marshino cherries but fresh, pitted cherries would work as well.
Ice
