Coca Cola Ham
There is nothing I love to drink more than a cold Coke. Not even sweet tea. It’s sweet, it’s bubbly, it’s spicy and so much more.
The first Coca Cola was sold on May 8, 1886 in Atlanta, GA and grew into a worldwide phenomenon. In the south we don’t just drink Coke, we cook with it too. From desserts to main dishes, we find a home for this beloved drink.
