Inspired by that chocolate bar from the quintessential Cadbury Favourites box of chocolates, this Cherry Ripe cocktail isn't sickly sweet but has a subtle bittersweet chocolate note complemented by the sweetness of cherries and nuttiness of toasty coconut. Don't try and substitute the Cherry Heering liqueur with just any other maraschino cherry liqueur - if you do, you may need to adjust the proportions.
If you find this too spirit forward, or want to make it more decadent, add in some milk to get a creamier cocktail.
