Steps:
- Pit all cherries, leaving a few whole for garnish.
- In a saucepan, mix the cherries, sugar, and water. Bring heat to medium high and stir, slowly reducing the liquid. Skim the surface of the syrup once in a while.

- For serving: In a frosted mug, add a scoop of ice cream, pour 1 tablespoon of the cherry mixture and top with coke. Garnish with fresh whole cherries.
- Cook's Note: For a drink, remove the vanilla ice cream and add a splash of spiced rum.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality cherry cola and vanilla ice cream.
- If you don't have a cherry cola, you can use a regular cola and add a few drops of cherry extract.
- To make a vegan cherry cola float, use a plant-based milk of your choice and a vegan-friendly vanilla ice cream.
- For a fun twist, try using a different type of soda, such as root beer or orange soda.
