In a medium saucepan, combine pitted cherries, sugar or monk fruit sweetener, and water. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the cherries become soft. Once done, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids, and let it cool completely while you gather the other ingredients.

Fill a tall glass with fresh ice, ensuring it fills to the rim for optimal chill. Pour in 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled cherry syrup, watching it create a lovely red layer at the bottom.

In a separate bowl or milk frother, combine vanilla almond milk and almond creamer. Froth the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds until it becomes light and airy.

Slowly pour the frothed vanilla almond milk over the cherry syrup and ice, allowing the milk to float atop the syrup.

Gently pour in your cold brew coffee or espresso over the frothy milk. Stir the drink lightly to blend together the flavors while maintaining some of the visual appeal.

Give the latte a final stir to ensure all flavors are evenly distributed. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more cherry syrup if desired. Garnish with a few fresh cherries on top or a sprig of mint.
