The Soft Love cocktail has the somewhat unusual distinction of being served in a cordial glass. It’s not much bigger than a shot, and it’s not very strong.

And the flavors are all banana and berry – kind of like a Strawberry-Banana Starburst, but with more berry and, obviously, the alcohol kick. With all that sweetness and overwhelming fruit flavor, it makes a great dessert drink or aperitif.

This creamy concoction is a perfect blend of creme de bananes, cherry vodka, heavy whipping cream, and grenadine. It’s a velvety, sweet treat that will leave you wanting more – and it’s light on alcohol, so you can have more!

A Creamy, Fruity Cocktail

The Soft Love combines the smoothness of creme de bananes with the fruity kick of cherry vodka, and that creates a nice blend of sweet and tangy notes.

The heavy whipping cream gives it a luxurious texture, while the grenadine brings more sweet berry flavor. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy creamy and fruity drinks.

Tasting Notes

The Soft Love cocktail is a real treat. The creme de bananes brings a luscious banana flavor that pairs perfectly with the fruity notes of cherry vodka.

The heavy whipping cream adds a silky smoothness to the drink, making it incredibly indulgent. Finally, the grenadine enhances the berry flavor and adds red color to the creme de bananes’ yellow.

Variations and Customizations

While the Soft Love cocktail is already a delicious drink on its own, you can always experiment with variations and customizations to suit your preferences. Here are a few ideas:

Chocolate Twist: Add a splash of chocolate liqueur to the mix for an extra layer of richness.
Tropical Twist: Replace the cherry vodka with coconut rum to give it a tropical twist.
Frozen Delight: Blend all the ingredients with ice for a refreshing frozen version of this creamy cocktail.

Feel free to get creative and adapt the Soft Love cocktail to your liking. The possibilities are endless!

Pairing Suggestions

Every good cocktail deserves a tasty accompaniment. Here are some food pairing suggestions that will complement the Soft Love cocktail:

Cheese Board: The creamy and fruity flavors of the cocktail pair beautifully with a selection of cheeses like brie, camembert, or gouda.
Dark Chocolate: Indulge in some decadent dark chocolate, which will enhance the richness of the drink.
Fresh Fruit: Serve the Soft Love cocktail alongside a platter of fresh sliced fruits such as bananas, cherries, and strawberries.

Food pairing is all about personal preference, so feel free to explore and find your perfect combination.

If you’re thinking about enjoying this one with food, it’s a little sweet for a full meal. But it’s great served with salty treats like pretzels or nuts, or creamy items that pair well with fruit. Think of a good triple cream brie cheese or a great plain cheesecake recipe.
