Cherry Almond Espresso Milkshake

I’ve been on a cherry kick lately. It all started when I purchased some cherry almond body lotion from a local shop. It smelled so tasty that I wanted to try something in that flavor. So, I made this cherry almond iced latte. I had leftover cherry almond simple syrup from this recipe, so I decided to try it in a cherry almond espresso milkshake.

Honestly – this cherry milkshake was the best drink I’ve ever made. I enjoyed it more than any cocktail or mocktail I’ve ever dreamed up. It is my new favorite beverage. The cherry almond syrup is sweet and tasty, and the addition of the cold espresso really made this drink top notch.

Enjoying a Cherry Almond Espresso Milkshake at Home

My husband, who loves to cook, made us some smash burgers and homemade fries to enjoy with this shake. The combination was absolutely heavenly! I highly recommend making your favorite burgers and fries to pair with this shake.

The thing I like about making milkshakes at home is that I can control the serving size. When I purchase a milkshake from a fast food restaurant, it’s often a bit too much for me. I made just one milkshake and split it between my husband and myself. It was the perfect size to enjoy without feeling super full afterward.

Cherry Almond Espresso Milkshake: Make It Your Own

This milkshake tastes great with or without the espresso. As a coffee lover, I felt that espresso really added something to the overall flavor. But my husband tried it without the coffee, and it was still yummy. So feel free to leave that ingredient out if you prefer it that way!
