Start by grabbing a cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice (we want it nice and chilled!) and add the Kahlua, Tequila Rose, cream, and strawberry syrup.

Give that shaker a good shake, about 30 seconds should do it. You’ll want to feel that chill sinking in while you’re shaking, and trust me, the smell will make your mouth water!
Step 3: Strain and Pour
Once it’s nice and frosty, strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. You can use a fancy glass if you’re feeling fancy, but honestly? Any glass will do!
Step 4: Garnish Away
Top your drink with a maraschino cherry (or two, or three). Seriously, go wild! You could even rim the glass with some crushed graham crackers or chocolate sprinkles for that extra flair.
Step 5: Serve and Savor
Sit back, relax, and enjoy. I mean, you deserve it, right? This drink is great for winding down after a long day or impressing guests at a get-together.
