Cheerwine Burger

In this video, Maryn and I cooked up a juicy Cheerwine Burger right on the Blackstone griddle! We added Cheerwine to the burger patties and the caramelized onions for that signature cherry cola sweetness, then topped it all with crispy bacon, creamy Havarti cheese, and a toasted bun. If you're looking for a unique Blackstone griddle burger recipe or a Southern twist on your backyard cookout, this is it! It's sweet, savory, smoky, and downright delicious.
