Ingredients
  

2 oz vodka

1 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)

1 oz cherry syrup (homemade or store-bought)

1 oz heavy cream

Ice cubes

Fresh cherries and whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Chill the Glass: Begin by placing your favorite glass (rocks or lowball) in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the drink.

    Mix the Base: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, coffee liqueur, and cherry syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake gently to mix the ingredients thoroughly but not overly agitate the drink.

      Prepare the Cream: In a separate bowl, lightly whip the heavy cream until just thickened but still pourable. This adds a luxurious texture without making it overly frothy.

        Assemble the Drink: Remove the chilled glass from the freezer. Fill it with fresh ice cubes. Strain the shaken mixture into the glass over the ice.

          Add the Cream: Slowly pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon so it layers beautifully on top of the drink.

            Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh cherries on a cocktail pick and a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra treat.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and stir gently before drinking to incorporate the cream with the layered flavors below.
