This Jack and Cherry Coke slushie is such a refreshing treat for a hot summer day, and you only need two ingredients to make it happen. Plan ahead and make the fun Cherry Coke ice cubes and then blend them with Jack Daniel’s whiskey for a frozen treat with a unique flavor.
Jack And Cherry Coke Slushie Ingredients
With the unmistakably classic flavor of Cherry Coke and the smooth flavor of the whiskey, this combination will most certainly cool you down when the weather warms up.
Add a maraschino cherry and a cocktail umbrella for a little extra fun.
You’ll need:
- 1 cup of Cherry Coke
- 2 ounces of Jack Daniel’s whiskey
- Garnish with a stemmed maraschino cherry
PRO TIP:
I like filling a few ice trays with Cherry Coke and keeping them in my freezer so I can make this frosty drink anytime. I like the ones that come with thin lids for the ice cube trays because this allows me to stack my ice cube trays in the freezer for longer-term storage.
Substitutions And Additions
CHERRY FLAVOR: For added cherry flavor to your Jack and Cherry slushie, add ½ ounce of the juice from the jar of maraschino cherries to the blender.
WHISKEY: While the recipe calls for Jack Daniel’s whiskey, you can explore different types and brands of whiskey, like rye or Irish whiskey, for a unique flavor experience.
Additionally, if you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute apple juice or flavored sparkling water for the whiskey, creating a refreshing mocktail.
How To Make This Jack And Cherry Coke Slushie Recipe
This tasty drink comes together with a quick spin in your blender, and before you know it, you will be sipping away at this refreshing adult beverage.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
I like to place my filled ice cube trays onto a rimmed baking tray before putting them into the freezer. This will catch any Cherry Coke that may spill over when the Coke freezes and expands. This is especially useful if you accidentally overfill each cube.
STEP ONE: Pour 1 cup of Cherry Coke into a standard ice cube tray. Be sure only to fill each cube ¾ full as the Cherry Coke tends to expand when frozen.
Place your filled ice cube tray into the freezer for at least 8 hours or up to overnight or until your cherry ice cubes are frozen through.
PRO TIP:
Measure out your 1 cup of Cherry Coke into a spouted glass measuring cup (this makes it easier to pour without spilling) and allow it to sit on the counter for a couple of minutes for the carbonation to calm down.
When measuring the Cherry Coke, you do not want any of the carbonated foam sitting on the top. This will ensure that you get an accurate measurement.
STEP TWO: Place all the Cherry Coke ice cubes into the container of a blender along with Jack Daniel’s whiskey.
PRO TIP:
If you like your slushies really thick, you can add ½ cup crushed ice to the blender. Unless you have a very heavy-duty blender, solid ice cubes tend not to break down completely when blending this drink, making crushed ice the better option. If you are adding extra ice to the blender, then you will need to opt for the larger glass size.
STEP THREE: Blend on high for 15 to 30 seconds. The amount of time it takes to blend will depend on how powerful your blender is.
You can add an additional 1 to 2 ounces of Cherry Coke to the blender if it needs a little extra liquid to help the Cherry Coke ice cubes blend smoother. This is really only necessary if you do not have a high-powered blender.
STEP FOUR: Pour into a 12 to 14-ounce tall glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry on top.
PRO TIP:
This recipe will fill a 12-ounce glass to the very top. A pint-size mason jar works as an excellent glass for this drink.
How To Serve
These ice-cold slushy Jacks are perfect anytime you need to cool down on a hot day at a summer gathering.
Don’t forget to add a few appetizers, such as our fruit salsa with cinnamon chips, million-dollar dip, and cucumber bites.
For those who are not fans of whiskey, how about making them a screwdriver drink or a pink flamingo drink instead?
Our pretty campfire cocktail and fizzy Texas tea are two more refreshing drinks that include whiskey in their ingredients.

Storage
IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER: This whiskey slushie should be served immediately. You can gently stir it with a straw as the mixture melts to regain that “slushie” consistency.
Deliciously frosty, this icy Jack and Cherry Coke slushie is just the thing to cool down once the weather gets warm. With only two ingredients needed to make this frozen drink, you can whip it up in no time with a quick whirl in your blender.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make a batch of these the day before a party?
These slushies are best served fresh. You should plan ahead and make the Cherry Coke ice cubes beforehand so that they have time to freeze. Otherwise, you will need to make the slushies when you are ready to serve them.
What is the best glass for this Cherry Coke slushies recipe?
This great recipe makes a fairly large drink, and we recommend at least a 12 to 14-ounce glass to enjoy it in.
Can I use diet soda instead of the original Cherry Coke?
If you only have diet soda on hand, you can use it, although it may slightly alter the flavor of the drink.
