Black Forest Coffee Recipe

This drink was an absolute success. You can probably tell what you're in for by looking at the ingredients. I'm glad to report that it's even better than it sounds. The mocha flavor of coffee mixed with whipped cream marries the flavor of chocolate covered cherries. I loved it as an indulgent treat with breakfast. It would also work as the perfect ending to an evening meal. I hope you will enjoy this special treat, its good both with cherry juice and with the cherry liquer...please feel free to use your favourite cherry liquer in this drink.
