Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 oz cherry brandy
- 1 oz amaretto
- 3 oz half-and-half
- Whipped cream optional, for garnish

Instructions
- Fill a coupe or rocks glass with ice and set it aside to chill while preparing the cocktail.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine cherry brandy, amaretto, and half-and-half.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to achieve a creamy, frothy texture.
- Discard the ice from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail into the glass. Serve over fresh ice if preferred.
- For a festive touch, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.
Notes
Pro Tips
- Half-and-half substitute: For an even creamier version, use heavy cream, or for a lighter option, try whole milk.
- Chilled glass: This step enhances the cocktail’s creamy consistency and keeps it perfectly cold.
- Garnish flair: Dust a little powdered sugar or grated nutmeg on the whipped cream for added holiday charm.
