An iced chocolate cherry latte combines espresso, cold milk, chocolate, and cherry flavors in one refreshing coffee drink.

This recipe keeps the preparation simple. Fill a glass with ice, add the ingredients, mix, and finish with cherries and whipped cream if desired.

Iced Chocolate Cherry Latte Ingredients

For 12-ounce serving, you will need:

• Vanilla syrup, 1/4 oz
• Chocolate syrup, 1/2 oz
• Cherry syrup, 1/4 oz
• Ice, as needed
• Cold milk, 8 oz
• Espresso, 1 shot

The original recipe calls for vanilla, chocolate, and cherry syrups. Choose your preferred versions when making this drink at home.

How to Make This Chocolate Cherry Coffee Drink

Start with a 12-ounce glass and fill it about three-quarters full with ice.

The ice creates the cold base and leaves enough room for milk, espresso, and flavored syrups.

Add the vanilla syrup, chocolate syrup, cherry syrup, and cold milk to the glass.

The chocolate and cherry flavors give the drink its main character, while vanilla adds another layer of sweetness.

Add one shot of espresso to the iced milk and syrup mixture.

Use a coffee you already enjoy on its own. Use a coffee with enough character to remain noticeable beneath the milk and flavored syrups. This helps keep the finished drink balanced.

Mix the ingredients well so the espresso, milk, and flavored syrups are distributed throughout the drink.

A thorough mix brings the chocolate, cherry, and vanilla flavors together. It also prevents the syrups from settling at the bottom.

Garnish the drink with cherries and whipped cream if desired.

The garnish is optional, but cherries reinforce the flavor combination while whipped cream adds a creamy finishing touch.

Serve the iced chocolate cherry latte immediately while the drink is cold and the ice is still intact.

The finished drink combines cold milk, espresso, chocolate, cherry, and vanilla in a simple 12-ounce serving.

Tips for a Better Chocolate Cherry Coffee Drink

Choose a coffee that you enjoy drinking on its own. The espresso remains an important part of the finished drink, even with the added syrups and milk.

Measure the syrups carefully when making the recipe for the first time. The original proportions provide a starting point for balancing the vanilla, chocolate, and cherry flavors.

Use cold milk and plenty of ice to keep the drink chilled as you prepare it.

For a stronger coffee flavor, start with the recipe as written. Adjust the coffee component in future preparations to suit your taste.

For a finished drink that looks as good as it tastes, add the whipped cream and cherries immediately before serving.
