In a tall glass, combine the remaining cherry juice with the cocoa mixture and stir well to incorporate.
Add vanilla extract to the glass and mix again.
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving enough room for the sparkling water.
Slowly pour the sparkling water over the ice, stirring gently to combine and maintain the fizz.
Top with whipped cream if desired and garnish with fresh cherries and a sprinkling of chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
