Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cherry juice
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Sparkling water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
- 2 pieces Fresh cherries (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and sugar with a tablespoon of cherry juice until it forms a smooth paste. This will prevent clumping when added to the drink.
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.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the layers of flavors.
