Jack & Coke Popsicles WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 10 popsicle molds 5 ounces of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey 20 ounces Coca-Cola 10 maraschino cherries, halved

HOW TO PREP: Pour the Coca-Cola into a bowl and allow to sit until no more carbonation is present, about 1 hour. Pour 1 ounce of Jack Daniel’s into each popsicle mold. Add 2 cherry halves to each and top with 2 ounces of the flattened Coke. Freeze until hard. JACK DANIEL’S , the first registered distillery in the country, was founded by its namesake distiller in 1866 and is now the top-selling American whiskey in the world. Jack Daniel’s meets all of the criteria to be called bourbon — a recipe of at least 51% corn, aging in new charred oak barrels, etc. — but don’t you dare. As Jack Daniel’s proudly states on its bottle, it’s Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey, which means the distillers have gone one step further. It’s charcoal filtered just before it goes into those new charred oak barrels to age, a technique known as the Lincoln County Process. Jack Daniel’s is made with a high-corn mash bill, which adds to its sweetness.
