Ingredients
100ml Asda Cherry Juice Drink
100g frozen morello cherries
50ml coconut milk
50ml Asda Coconut Bay
25g golden caster sugar
2–3 drops almond extract
100ml whipping cream, optional
2 cherries
1 tsp desiccated coconut
Method
1
Start by making the almond syrup. Put the caster sugar in a saucepan with 25ml water and heat gently over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture is simmering. Turn off the heat and allow to cool. Stir in 2—3 drops of almond extract.
2
When you’re ready to make the cocktail, whip up the cream and set aside. For speed you can also use squirty cream, if you like, instead of whipping the cream yourself.
3
Put the cherry juice, frozen cherries, coconut milk and Coconut Bay in a blender. Add 20–25ml prepared almond syrup and a small handful of ice and blend until smooth.
4
Fill 2 tall glasses or sundae glasses with ice and pour in the cocktail. Top with cream and garnish with a cherry and a sprinkling of desiccated coconut. Serve immediately.
5
For a quick, easy and a fun alternative to a heavy dessert, just add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and tuck in.
