Cherry Coke, officially known as Coca-Cola Cherry, is a cherry-flavored variation of the classic Coca-Cola soft drink introduced by The Coca-Cola Company in 1985 in the United States. It was the first flavored version of Coke to be sold nationwide and was created in response to the popularity of mixing cherry syrup with Coca-Cola at soda fountains. The drink combines the familiar caramel and vanilla notes of Coca-Cola with a sweet, slightly tart cherry flavor. Over the years, it has been marketed in various forms, including Cherry Coke Zero and Diet Cherry Coke, and continues to be a favorite among fans of flavored sodas worldwide.
