Ingredients
  

Cherry Simple Syrup
  • 1 cup cherries, pitted (I use frozen)
  • ½ cup sugar or monk fruit
  • ½ cup water
Cherry Chip Espresso Martini
  • 1 ½ oz cooled espresso or cold brew
  • 1 oz Nutpods coffee creamer
  • 1 oz vodka (or alternative for nonalcoholic)
  • ½-1 oz cherry simple syrup  (more or less depending on sweetness preference)
  • chocolate, to shave on top

Method
 

Cherry Simple Syrup
  1. Combine cherries, water and sugar in a pot on the stove over medium heat.
  2. Bring to a slight simmer and keep an eye on the mixture, mixing lightly and pressing down on the cherries as the sugar dissolves.
  3. Once the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture has thickened, your simple syrup is done!
  4. Strain the syrup into a resealable glass container leaving out the cherries and let cool before using it for your drinks. PS - you can use the cherry spread that is left over on just about anything. It's delicious!
Cherry Chip Espresso Martini

  2. Strain into a martini or coupe glass and top with chocolate shavings and cherries on a cocktail pick. Cheers!
