Yes. Use 1 oz strong instant coffee brewed with hot water, cooled to room temperature before mixing.
Any cognac or VS brandy at similar proof works. Avoid high-proof or flavored brandies that overpower the cherry notes.
Cold is standard. Shake with ice and serve up, or serve on the rocks. Heat this cocktail only if you prefer a warm coffee drink.
Mix spirits and coffee in advance, but do not add ice until service to prevent dilution.
