Step 1: Brew the Espresso

Start by brewing your espresso or strong coffee. If you have an espresso machine, use that, or if you’re using a regular coffee maker, just brew a small, strong cup of coffee. You want the coffee to be bold enough to stand out against the sweetness of the cherry syrup.

Step 2: Prepare the Cherry Vanilla Syrup

In a small bowl or cup, mix the cherry syrup and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. This syrup adds both sweetness and flavor, so you can adjust the amount based on how sweet you like your drink.

Step 3: Fill the Glass with Ice

Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Make sure the glass is filled to the top, as the ice will help cool down the coffee and give it that refreshing chill.

Step 4: Combine the Ingredients

Pour the brewed espresso into the glass over the ice. Then, pour in the cherry vanilla syrup mixture, followed by the milk. Stir everything together to blend the flavors. You can taste it and adjust the sweetness by adding more cherry syrup or vanilla if desired.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

If you’re feeling extra indulgent, top your latte with a swirl of whipped cream. You can also add a fresh cherry on top for a cute and tasty garnish. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy your chilled, delicious drink!
