IBC Black Cherry embodies the excellence of American craft sodas in a fruity and indulgent version. The recipe includes carbonated water, cane sugar, citric acid, sodium benzoate (preservative), Red 40 coloring, natural and artificial flavors, caramel coloring, and Blue 1 coloring. The flavor profile offers an explosion of black cherry flavor: intense and slightly tart fruity notes, a smooth sweetness provided by real cane sugar, and a sweet finish reminiscent of ripe summer cherries.

The texture is characterized by a fine and elegant effervescence, with a creamy mouthfeel typical of IBC sodas. Cane sugar, unlike high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), provides a purer, more natural sweetness that perfectly highlights the black cherry flavor. The deep ruby color, achieved through the blending of colorings, visually evokes the fruit from which it takes its name.

Perfect served chilled straight from the bottle for an authentic experience, or poured into a tall glass with ice. Excellent for making a black cherry float by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs perfectly with chocolate desserts, burgers, or can simply be enjoyed as an aperitif.

Tip : For a unique homemade cocktail, mix with bourbon or whiskey for a refreshing "Cherry Whiskey Soda." Also use it as a secret ingredient in your pork or duck marinades—black cherries add a sweet and tangy touch that caramelizes beautifully when cooked. For a quick dessert, pour over vanilla ice cream and top with fresh cherries.
