This refreshing Viral Cherry Vanilla Latte combines robust espresso or strong coffee with sweet cherry and vanilla syrups, topped with creamy milk and optional garnishes for a delightful café-style experience at home.

Ingredients

Scale

Espresso or Coffee

  • 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso (about 2 ounces total)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup of very strong brewed coffee (as a substitution for espresso)

Milk Options

  • Whole milk (for a creamy texture)
  • Oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk (as milk alternatives)

Syrups and Sweeteners

  • Cherry syrup (made with real fruit juice)
  • Homemade cherry syrup (pitted fresh or frozen cherries, sugar, and water)
  • Vanilla syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (as a substitution for vanilla syrup)

Extras

  • Ice (for iced latte)
  • Whipped cream (optional garnish)
  • Extra cherry syrup (optional garnish)
  • Fresh cherries (optional garnish)
  • Vanilla bean flecks (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brew your espresso or strong coffee. If using an espresso machine, pull two fresh shots. If using strong coffee, brew about 1/2 to 3/4 cup.
  2. Prepare your glass by pouring in the syrups. For a standard 12-16 oz serving, start with 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of cherry syrup and 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of vanilla syrup.
  3. If making an iced latte, fill your glass generously with ice cubes.
  4. Pour your chosen milk over the syrups and (if applicable) the ice. For an iced latte, use cold milk; for a hot latte, steam and froth the milk before pouring.
  5. Slowly pour your hot espresso or strong coffee over the milk layer.
  6. Stir your latte with a long spoon to blend the flavors.
  7. Garnish your latte with whipped cream, a drizzle of cherry syrup, or fresh cherries.

Notes

  • Use 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract as a substitute if you don’t have vanilla syrup.
  • Homemade cherry syrup can be made with pitted fresh or frozen cherries, sugar, and water for a fresh fruit flavor.
  • Customize your latte with optional garnishes like whipped cream, extra cherry syrup, fresh cherries, or vanilla bean flecks.
