Yum! I experimented a little to keep the sugar down. I used sour cherry juice where it is an option and used artificial sweetener instead of the sugar. It was still very rich and decadent. Cherries are my favorite fruit and I really loved the cherry-chocolate combination. Glad to have found this treat!

Nummers... this is good stuff! We had to improvise just a bit on the cherry portions; no fresh cherries in season so we used Maraschino for garnish and substituted a concoction of grenadine, vodka, and cherry extract in the whipped topping, and just a splash of the cherry extract in the coffee itself. Might be even better with the original stuff, but pretty good like this! We noted that ground candy canes or a sprinkling of coconut would be a nice variation, and joked that this shamelessly non-dietetic beverage contained all four of the basic food groups: sugar, fat, alcohol, and caffeine. Very nice! Made for Photo Tag, Nov. 2008.
