recipe tips
Use high-quality coffee for the best flavor.
Warm your mugs before adding the ingredients to keep the coffee hot longer.
For an adult version, consider adding a splash of cherry liqueur or chocolate liqueur.
To make a frothy top without whipped cream, lightly froth some milk and spoon it over the coffee.
Drizzle the chocolate syrup in a swirling motion for a pretty presentation.
Serve immediately to enjoy the hot coffee with cool whipped cream.
For a stronger cherry flavor, garnish with additional cherry juice or chopped maraschino cherries.
common recipe questions
Can I use fresh cherries instead of maraschino cherries?
While fresh cherries can be used for garnish, maraschino cherry juice is preferred for its distinct flavor and sweetness.
Is there a specific type of coffee that works best?
A medium or dark roast coffee is ideal as it complements the rich flavors of chocolate and cherry.
Can I make this drink with decaffeinated coffee?
Yes, decaffeinated coffee can be used without affecting the overall taste of the drink.
How can I adjust the sweetness?
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of cherry juice and chocolate syrup.
What type of chocolate syrup should I use?
Any store-bought chocolate syrup typically used for desserts or ice cream works well.
Can this drink be made iced?
Yes, you can cool the brewed coffee and add ice for an iced version.
Is there a dairy-free alternative to whipped cream?
Coconut whipped cream or other dairy-free whipped toppings can be used.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Decadent!! The cherry juice is a nice touch. I'm not a big coffee drinker so when I drink it I usually have to dress it up a lot. Might also try this with kirsch :)

This coffee is practically a dessert! The maraschino cherry juice is a nice touch mixed in with the coffee.
