Steps

Bring juice to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add sugar and cook, stirring, until dissolved, about 3 minutes. Let cool. Transfer to a jar, cover, and chill.
Do Ahead: Syrup can be made 1 week ahead. Keep chilled.
For each cocktail, mix 1 oz. black cherry simple syrup and 1 oz. coffee in a rocks glass. Add ice to fill, then 3 oz. club soda and 3 oz. cola. Garnish with lime wedge.
