Black Forest Drink

This was created in a fit of experimentation back in my early college days, and likely bears no resemblance to whatever actual bartenders might call a 'black forest'. I certainly like it, though.

Black Forest

1 12 oz Coca-Cola
3 tbsp of the juice found in a jar of maraschino cherries (actual grenadine works just fine here too, but cherry juice has the advantage of automatically coming with a garnish for the drink)
3 oz Kahlua
2 oz vodka
2-3 Maraschino cherries from jar as garnish

In a large glass, layer vodka, cherry juice, kahlua and Coke, in that order. Stir briefly, drop in a few cherries, and serve.

Servings: 1
