Look what I tried last night.
It's the new offering from Coca-Cola to the UK market.
Cherry Float absolutely intrigued me, when I first learned of the flavour''s existence. That's because Cherry Coke is my favourite version of Coca-Cola. I also enjoy Vanilla Coke. So, it was more than a win-win to see that this flavour is doing the rounds in this country of ours.
Upon opening the can, I sensed a smell of cherries very unlike the strong cherry aroma those who take whiffs of Cherry Coke upon popping open a can or twisting a bottle get (I hope you know what I mean).
The best way I can describe the aroma is it was like glacé cherries. Yes, it was like those. A rich, mature cherry scent.
It didn't last long, however. Vanilla came along and overpowered my sniffing senses.
Drinking from the can offered a similar experience.
On the first sip, I sensed the cherry. On my second go, I caught the vanilla. That cycle repeated many times.
Cherry.
Vanilla.
Cherry.
Vanilla.
To be fair, it was quite an experience. A collision of my two favourite Coca-Cola flavours in what seemed like a fair rotation.
Coca-Cola states that the drink 'blends bold cherry and creamy vanilla' and is 'designed to mimic a nostalgic ice cream soda fountain drink'.
I can't answer for the nostalgia part of that mission statement. I can when it comes to the vanilla flavour being creamy and especially for the boldness of the cherry.
This a winner.
Will I try it again? Of course - I bought an eight pack. But, even if I had only one sample can, I would go out of my way to have more.
It was a refreshing collision of tastes. I hope it sticks around for a while.
